UFC's welterweight sensation, Belal Muhammad, is making headlines by turning down an opportunity to fight former champ, Kamaru Usman. According to FirstSportz, Muhammad, boasting a record of 23-3 MMA and 14-3 UFC, is on fire with a nine-fight win streak. This impressive feat was solidified after his victory over Gilbert Burns at UFC 288. Now, he's positioned himself as the top welterweight contender, with his sights set on the winner of Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington at UFC 296.
Belal's decision to side-step Usman stems from a desire for more significant rewards. In his words during an MMA Junkie interview, facing and defeating Usman now might not grant him the accolades he deserves due to Usman's recent performance and age. Instead, Belal's thirst for UFC gold is evident. He's preparing diligently, possibly to challenge either Edwards or Covington, making UFC 296 an event to watch.
