UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad has a major name on his list. Muhammad, who will attempt to avenge the only knockout loss on his record when he fights Vicente Luque this weekend, is sick and tired of the “piece of trash” occupying the #2 spot in the welterweight rankings, telling MMAFighting that he wants to take out Colby Covington.
His big problem is with Colby’s trash talking. “It just shows that he’s literally a piece of trash.
Belal Muhammad Calls Out Colby Covington: “He’s literally a piece of trash”
He is a low life. To bring up a wife and kids — you don’t talk about somebody’s wife and kids. You don’t attack them. But then you’re going to keep doing that to copy McGregor. Why? Cause you’re not original. You’re a loser. That’s one of those things like Dustin says, I’m not going to fight him in the cage, I’ll fight him in the street or I’ll fight him in the gym if I see him. Because when you’re talking about family or you’re talking about a wife and kids, it’s no longer professional. Those are fighting words.
It’s no more you’re trying to sell a fight. You’re talking about my family. I’m going to hurt you. Colby definitely deserves to be hurt. Big coward calling out a 155-pounder, a smaller guy. Call guys that are at the top of the division.”
Muhammad continued, asking Covington to stop threatening lightweights and take on a top-ranked welterweight opponent.
“Go against me. If the UFC offers me that next after I get this win, I’m going to take it right away just because my style matches up perfectly with his. Just to be able to slap that kid would be the best thing ever.
If it’s the build up and he wants to talk, I’ll make him look dumb, because his trash talk is so dumb and it’s pre-written. If it’s live, we’re going back and forth, I’m going to make him look really stupid when he’s trying to use his little over the edge thing. I don’t take anything personally. I’m just going to come back at you harder.
That’s one of the guys I’ve always wanted. Stylistically, I match up with him and outside for the build-up, I’ll definitely outclass him.”
Belal Muhammad is certainly one of the fiercest fighters at 170 pounds, but Colby Covington’s powerful wrestling has neutralized all opponents save for Kamaru Usman. Do you think Belal Muhammad will demolish Colby Covington? Let us know in the comments.
