Belal Muhammad wants to be the one fighting Khamzat Chimaev next
Khamzat Chimaev seems to be in a tug of war between two UFC stars. The Swede is undefeated in his MMA career and called out several stars after his latest win at UFC 267.
Belal Muhammad and Gilbert Burns have since answered the call from Chimaev, and the pair seem to be fighting on who will face the Swede next.
Muhammad and Chimaev have had a huge squabble on social media, but it seems the Swede wants to face Gilbert Burns.
The pair have seemingly set up a fight but there is no official confirmation of the same. Nevertheless, Bully was quick to reply and wanted Burns to cancel his fight with Chimaev.
Bully also posted a meme of Hasbulla where he suggested that Chimaev was scared of accepting the fight.
Muhammad is on a seven-fight unbeaten run and recently picked up a dominant win over Stephen Thompson.
He is keen on getting back in the Octagon and it will be interesting to see who his next rival is.
Borz, as Chimaev is called, didn’t take too kindly to the callouts from Muhammad. The undefeated UFC star posted several photos of Bully’s no contest against Leon Edwards.
That fight was ended after several eye pokes from Edwards left Muhammad unable to continue.
While Muhammad has called for a rematch with Edwards, a win over Chimaev could see Bully get into title contention.
Kamaru Usman needs a new challenger after another successful title defence. He beat Colby Covington for a second time, which took place at UFC 268.
Chimaev is also keen on fighting the champion, and these are interesting times in the UFC’s Welterweight division.
