Newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad is hopeful to eventually fight Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title.
Muhammad scored an upset win over Edwards in the main event of UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester to win the welterweight title. It was a stunning performance from Muhammad and after the win, he called out du Plessis as he eventually wants to be a champ-champ.
“I just want to be the guy that did everything you said I couldn’t do. Then if we go up and if, what’s his name, Dricus [Du Plessis] still has the title, he beats, what’s his face, [Israel] Adesanysa, he was trying to talk tough to me, I’ll go smack him around, try to get two belts,” Muhammad said after UFC 304, via Sportskeeda.
