Belal Muhammad says Colby Covington is avoiding fights: ‘He hasn’t beat no top five’
Belal Muhammad after beating Lyman Good at UFC Vegas 3.Belal Muhammad is fine with fighting top welterweight contenders to earn a championship opportunity, something he believes Colby Covington would not do.
Muhammad returns to the Octagon this Saturday for a rematch against Vicente Luque, who is ranked above him at No. 5 in the division. A win over Luque would not only avenge the first — and only — knockout loss of his professional career, but also move him one step closer to a shot at reigning champion Kamaru Usman.
