“There are a lot of guys above me (in the rankings) who don’t have fights scheduled. I'm not sure that Leon (Edwards) will have a fight, as many say he will face Usman. But Usman is not ready yet. So I don't know if Edwards can wait until September or October. I think it would be a fight that would make sense for me”, surprised Muhammad.
The two fighters faced each other in March 2021, but the fight ended without result after the American received a finger in the eye. If he is unable to face Edwards and the Englishman actually challenges for the title in his next appearance, Belal believes he can also get a match against Colby covington e Khamzat Shimaev. The North American had already said the name of ‘Chaos’ when he won the ufc vegas 51.
Two other guys who are above me in the rankings and winning right now are Khamzat (Chimaev) and Colby (Covington). None of them have a fight scheduled right now. If the title fight happens in July, I want to be on the card. With Leon’s (Edwards) ‘luck’, his clashes are canceled every day. So, I don’t know if he’s going to fight soon,” he added.
Belal Muhammad | is experiencing the peak of his career. A veteran in the organization, the American is on a streak of seven wins and one fight without result in his last eight fights. In his career, he updated his record to 21 positive results, three negatives and one ‘I didn't answer'.
