Belal Muhammad is not holding back at Sean Strickland. Recently, the UFC welterweight champion went around exploring the idea of moving up in weight. However, Sean Strickland immediately dismissed the idea with a strong message towards Muhammad. Such a reaction from ‘Tarzan’ did not seem to please Muhammad at all.
The UFC welterweight champion immediately hit back at Strickland with some scathing take of his own. Muhammad accused Strickland of being someone who only has a ton of excuses at everything he does.
“We all know [Strickland] is good at crying and using his mouth no diddy I just heard it from his dad,” said Belal Muhammad.

Well, Muhammad is not wrong. The UFC community has been criticizing Strickland for his statements. Soon after he lost his title to Du Plessis, ‘Tarzan’ complained that the judges made a mistake and it was he who was supposed to win. Next up, right before UFC 312, Strickland has asked Du Plessis to agree to a stand up fight. And while all these words angered the fighting community, his comments about Muhammad too, followed the similar trend.

Sean Strickland recently expressed his frustrations at Belal Muhammad. Reacting to Muhammad’s middleweight dream, Strickland gave a sarcastic reply. He asked the UFC welterweight champion to go back to Palestine.
“Belal, do me a favour, shut the f*** up. Go get on a boat, go back to f***ing Palestine, go pick up a rock and go do something,” Strickland mentioned, interacting with ‘The Schmo.’

Surely, these words were not taken in a good light by Belal Muhammad. As the rivalry between the duo intensifies, a new possibility is on the horizon? After Strickland is done with Dricus Du Plessis, can we see a potential fight between ‘Tarzan’ and Muhammad in the future?
