Since Belal Muhammad became the welterweight champion, fans have been wondering who his next title defense will be against. One unexpected name in the mix is Sean Strickland, the top middleweight contender who is currently focused on middleweight gold but is also known for his rivalries across other divisions.
Amid this, Strickland and Muhammad have been trading comments on social media. Surprisingly, a fan joined the conversation, suggesting a fight between Muhammad and Strickland. The fan, while expressing admiration for Muhammad, predicted that Strickland would easily defeat him, saying, “Belal, I love you. But Sean would light you like a candle.”
‘Remember The Name‘ took the comment in stride and responded by critiquing Strickland’s fighting style. He wrote, “He would throw 95 teeps at me every round then wait till 6 seconds left in the fight and start throwing jumping teeps and yelling like he’s wild.”
This isn’t the first time Muhammad has been involved in online disputes. Fans have previously seen him engage in a feud with former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
