Kamaru Usman has been holding onto some spicy footage. The former welterweight champ has an unreleased interview with Belal Muhammad that’s causing quite a stir. ‘Bully B’ had appeared on Usman and Henry Cejudo’s Pound 4 Pound show. Things went sideways fast as the two welterweights verbally berated each other. The current champion claimed he “verbally broke down” Usman during the interview.
Muhammad even suggests things got physical. But Usman is playing this like a chess master. He put forth a condition for the release of the footage, which revolves around the championship.
“Look, I was able to maybe tangle with the champ a little bit,’ which wasn’t that eventful. But if he’s able to get through Shavkat Rakhmonov, and we run super, super low on content, why not?” said Usman via Pound 4 Pound Podcast.
According to Usman, the interview wasn’t even that special. He threw shade at Belal Muhammad by calling it “the biggest moment” of his life. The whole situation has many layers. ‘Bully B’ keeps bringing it up in interviews. Meanwhile, Usman acts like it’s just another Tuesday.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Belal Muhammad actually enjoyed meeting Usman face-to-face. He said some champions’ egos were too big to handle clever comebacks. Fans will get to know who the dominant force was once the interview is released.

Muhammad, known for his quick wit as much as his fighting prowess, revealed on “Remember the Show” that he verbally dismantled the former champion during their interaction. According to the current titleholder, Usman “emotionally broke down” during their exchange, leading to an attempted physical confrontation.
“I’m hoping they bring out the episode. I’ll say this: They’re not very good at talking, so I think I verbally broke down Usman. I think he got emotionally broken so he tried to get physical. But when you try to get physical with the champion, there’s levels to this.”
The irony of the situation isn’t lost on fight fans. Kamaru Usman, once considered the pound-for-pound king of the UFC, finds himself in unfamiliar territory as the challenger. He is seeking relevance in a division he once dominated. Meanwhile, Belal Muhammad’s rise to championship status has brought a new dynamic to the welterweight landscape, complete with his characteristic trash talk and confident demeanor.
