Things are beginning to heat up between former featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski and new welterweight world champion Belal Muhammad.
Going into his scrap with Leon Edwards at UFC 304, Muhammad was a sizeable underdog with practically everyone in the MMA community betting on ‘Rocky’ to come out on top by a wide margin. Instead, ‘Remember The Name’ secured a dominant five-round victory on Edwards’ own turf and has been on a bit of an ‘I told you so tour’ ever since.
Recently, Muhammad snapped back at Volkanovski after ‘The Great’ jokingly said that he’d step into the UFC 304 headliner on short notice and suggested that Muhammad would be a “good matchup” for him.
