Kamaru Usman made it clear that he is not willing to share the octagon with an 'unknown' in the UFC. In the main fight of the UFC Atlanta, the Nigerian proved that, without a shadow of a doubt, he still belongs to the elite of the Ultimate's welterweight division (up to 77kg). Former champion of the category, Usman dominated Joaquin buckley in a five-round fight and ended a three-fight losing streak. At the post-event press conference, the 'Nigerian Nightmare' was asked about a possible fight against Belal Muhammad |, but his answer may not have pleased those who expected to see a duel between former champions.
“Who is this? Next,” Usman said.
Belal's response came via social media, where, in a provocative tone, he recalled an episode in which Kamaru Usman cried backstage at the Pound 4 Pound show, which he presents alongside Henry Cejudo.
“The guy who made you cry on your Podcast,” he wrote Belal Muhammad |.

Kamaru Usman x Bela Muhammad rivalry
Even though they never faced each other, Kamaru Usman e Belal Muhammad | starred in a confusion, not recorded by cameras, during preparation for a recording of the podcast 'Pound 4 Pound', in 2024. In the week of UFC 315, when Belal faced Jack Della Maddalena, Usman even admitted that a security team would be necessary if he crossed paths with the Palestinian backstage.
