Belal Muhammad claims UFC title win over Leon Edwards would put him in GOAT conversation

UFC welterweight, Belal Muhammad believes a title shot should be next for him after the potential fight with Kamaru Usman fell through.

Beside a no contest against Leon Edwards in March of 2021, Muhammad has been perfect since his loss to Geoff Neal, racking up nine wins. This includes wins over Gilbert Burns, Stephen Thomspon and Vicente Luque.

Despite this, Muhammad is not fighting for a title next and has been passed over for the largely inactive Colby Covington, who holds only a one fight win streak.
