Drama rarely takes a backseat in the world of MMA, and the latest clash of words between Shavkat Rakhmonov and Belal Muhammad is proof of that. The two welterweight fighters are turning up the heat on social media.
The saga kicked off when Muhammad laid out his plans for a potential fight against Rakhmonov. He predicted he would finish Rakhmonov, citing his ability to adapt his fighting style to exploit weaknesses. This bold prediction didn’t sit well with Rakhmonov. In his typical no-nonsense fashion, Rakhmonov took to social media to fire back.
“18 fighters before you tried, and I finished them all. Meanwhile, in 18 UFC fights, you’ve only finished three opponents. The UFC belt doesn’t give you superpowers, brother, it just seems to have made you delusional,” wrote Rakhmonov.
He pointed out his own impressive track record of finishing 18 opponents and then compared it to Muhammad’s measly three finishes in the UFC. He also suggested that the UFC belt hadn’t granted Muhammad any special powers, merely inflating his ego.
Muhammad’s comments were a classic case of trash talk in the fight game. After all, boasting and bravado are part of the sport’s DNA. Rakhmonov, on the other hand, brought his A-game with a mix of stats and sass.
