“Looking for the toughest challenge”

Belal “Remember the name” Muhammad desires his title to be remembered with a knock with prime middleweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev. 

The welterweight title holder feels he has what it takes to beat the harmful grappler. After rigorously analyzing Chimaev’s performances Belal feels he must final greater than a spherical and play a job in stretching the combat – with the intention of “draining” him out. Belal feels that will be the important thing to victory.

He has been ridiculed for a variety of things. The most typical aspect is his combating type – naysayers continuously name it ‘boring’. Despite being surrounded by such adverse feedback, the Palestinian fighter has expressed robust grit which very quickly paid off and earned him the distinguished title.

Belal Muhammad on Fighting Khamzat Chimaev 

In a recent interview with Submission Radio, the UFC welterweight champion expressed his urge to face ‘Borz’ in the near future. 

“I’ve referred to as out Chimaev when he was at 170. That is a type of fights I used to be at all times searching for, I am at all times searching for the hardest problem. Stylistically I believe I match up very properly with him. I believe he’ll stroll via du Plessis and turn out to be champion he goes so onerous within the first spherical and comes out like a missile. For me, it is nearly taking him to the later rounds and begin drowning him”.
