Despite waiting for the opportunity to fight for the middleweight belt (up to 83,9 kg) against Dricus Du Plessis to follow, Khamzat Shimaev seems to be looking for another rival in his history. Even though he is no longer present in the welterweight division (up to 77,1 kg), the Emirati made a curious provocation with Belal Muhammad |.
"Belal Muhammad |, where do you think you're going, pony?”, Chimaev fired back on his official X account.

With a photo of a pony to add to his provocation, the fighter generated curiosity among internet users who were unable to understand the reason for using the animal to attack Belal and questioned the reason for the disrespect towards his former professional colleague.
“Disrespecting your Muslim brother, shame on you,” one account said.
“I thought you were friends”
“What does the pony have to do with all this?”

With no official date yet, Chimaev remains active in training while he awaits a call from the UFC to face Du Plessis for the belt. Speaking after UFC Kansas City, Dana stated that fighters will not face each other during International Fight Week and reinforced that it will not be long before the fight takes place.
On the other hand, Belal is preparing to defend his welterweight belt (up to 77,1 kg) on May 10, at UFC 315, against Jack Della Maddalena.
