“If I’m Islam, I had to choose the next battle, 100 % would definitely be a simple match for me, Belal Muhammad and (UFC Featherweight Champion) Ilia Topria. Usman said in a pound 4 -pound podcast. “I go there, I think I’ll decide what one of them, then decide what I want to do. If I want to retire, I will retire, because these people Looking at the composition of the body and how it is cut, I feel that if I was him, I would be doing it to be difficult to get to the weight class. % I will probably rise.
“The whole concept of Belal’s training with them, they don’t want it. I go there and whip him, I don’t care. I try to learn our style with our body, I whip him and take the belt.
“They are not brothers,” said Usman. “They are not from the same place. That dok goes there to train with them here and there. If the time comes, we scrap and we go to the job that is happening. Mike Tyson has taken a look at you: You are still a real friend you are concerned about. I don’t see it.
USman won the UFC welter -class title from March 2019 to August 2022. Meanwhile, he defended the title five times and broke Corbie Cobinton (twice), Jorchemas Vidal (twice), and Gilbert Burns.
USman has decided Tyron Woodley, winning the title and losing his belt by knockout to Leon Edwards.
He lost his skid after losing three races, and recently decided on UFC 294 in the middle class in October 2023.
USman is now the third fighter in the official UFC welterweight ranking.
Muhammad reacts to Usman
It didn’t take much time for the UFC welterweight champion to respond to USMAN’s remarks.
“Please stop speaking my name until you end the losing streak,” Muhammad wrote on the social media. “Or change the pod cast name to” loss after loss “. “
Muhammad expanded his thoughts in a conversation with the MMA junkie.
“It’s very interesting when there is a man like him. He has lost three races, but he shouldn’t call him when they call him. Muhammad told MMA Junkie Radio, as he is still on the pedestal, as he is still a champion. “But your friends, you are the current pod casters. You are not fighting for more than a year. If you do not intend to protect the ranking, you will leave.
“You have lost three races, so you should start looking at your retirement. Otherwise, Tony Ferguson will lose his streak.
The current champion suggests that the former champion attacked him during his title.
“… I won the streak and he acted so that I was not knowing who I was. So we saw it. He’s the first tough title to Leon Edwards. He was knocked out when he had a defense, and he wasn’t the most toughest man. These people, they behave together, are they fighting with each other? Do you still have a chance?
Muhammad suggested that if he picked up his victory, he shot the title to Usman.
“You need USMAN to get a victory,” said Muhammad. “Hey, he’s very terrible now. You have to fight someone who is clearly won in the streak, just like he goes there. But he’s just killing him like a newcomer. I know that it was provided, but he refused because he was a CO sick.
“So, so far, he’s just waiting for a bystander, and every time a welter -class battle occurs, he’s trying to get it like Connor McGregor’s mentality. Pull or forget him, so he has to fight someone in the story and beat them. “
Muhammad is in an undefeated streak of 11 games that began in April 2019. Muhammad won the UFC Welterweight Crown in July 2024 and decided on Edwards. He made a reservation in December to protect the title against Shavkat Rakhmonov, but was forced by his toes from the battle for bone infection. The battle has not been reserved yet, but Muhammad’s first title defense will come to Rakumonov.
