Newly crowned welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad | was seen as a 'zebra' for the title fight against Leon edwards at UFC 304, last Saturday (27) and saw many experts and professional colleagues point to the Briton retaining his title. After the conquest, it was up to the new champion to rebut those who doubted, including Alexander Volkanovsky.
In an interview with Jon Anik and Kenny Florian on YouTube, Muhammad commented on a speech by the Australian before UFC 304. On that occasion, the former featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg) made himself available to face Belal Muhammad |, if necessary, and judged a duel against the welterweight as 'stylistically favorable' for him.
“Volkanovski said he thought I would be a good match for him in a possible fight. Shut up brother, I'm going to completely crush you. All these guys. There is no one in the UFC who will defeat me”, said Belal.
Belal's statement did not please him at all Alexander Volkanovsky, who took to social media and fired shots at the new welterweight champion, complete with threat.
“You have every reason to hate what I said about you being a good match for me stylistically, but I truly believe that, even after your last fight, in which you showed me nothing different. You're still mad at me because I accidentally didn't answer your call...pathetic! Say 'Shut up, I'm going to crush you' in my face and see what happens”, published the Australian.
