Now, the welterweight championship will be contested between Belal Muhammad and Rakhmonov. However, Muhammad has already begun predicting the outcome of the fight.
UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad had a face-to-face encounter with the Kazakh fighter at UFC 310. The two fighters squared off, giving fans a preview of what’s to come in the future. After the face-off, Muhammad sat down for an interview with ‘The Schmo’ on YouTube, where he shared his thoughts on his upcoming title defense.
In the interview, Muhammad said, “Now I’ve got an extra 25 minutes to break him down even more, and I came to the same conclusion—I’m going to dominate him.”
The welterweight division is set for some exciting future matchups, including the title fight. However, before facing off with Rakhmonov, Muhammad was stopped by security, who didn’t recognize him. Joe Rogan stepped in and told the security to let him through, reminding them he’s the champion. This moment was hilarious for some, and UFC star Conor McGregor took the opportunity to mock the welterweight champion over the incident.
