Belal Muhammad takes aim at UFC rival Colby Covington: ‘I think he’s the easiest fight in the division’

In the midst of an impressive 10-fight undefeated streak, surging welterweight contender, Belal Muhammad has claimed that former interim titleholder, Colby Covington is “the easiest fight in the division” – as he clamors for his eventual shot at divisional spoils.

Muhammad, who has landed victories in each of his last five Octagon outings, most recently turned in an impressive, and rather one-sided unanimous decision win over former title challenger, Gilbert Burns at UFC 288 back in May of last year.

As for Covington, the current number two ranked contender and former interim welterweight titleholder, has yet to return to the Octagon since March of last year, then handing former title challenger and arch-rival, Jorge Masvidal a one-sided unanimous judging loss of his own.
