Belal Muhammad discusses his first week as champ + potential title challengers | ESPN MMA

[@marcernest3165]

Hes one of us. Hes not Conor or Khabib or Pereira.. those guys who seem larger than life. He's a normal average looking dude with an extremely above average desire and willingness to be great. I love those stories. He deserves it so much.

[@ZettontheGOAT]

Agree

[@sachasoorma]

absolutely 👌🏾

[@hanimazen5717]

man he is humble.

[@nozone4109]

He is far from humble very arrogant bragging calling his opponents easy while he won just 3-2 against a poor performing leon. Also he talks about volk

[@poke-holo-sports]

​@nozone4109 shut your mouth, Belal is your king

[@VegaH_]

Belal been dodging me

[@_Gunner_]

@@nozone4109 1,2,4,5. 4-1. I didn't know the headshot DENT had an AoE and hit Leon's fans too.

[@b.p.scarfaceintro7093]

Humble?😂😂😂😂 you don’t kno what humble is

[@Calmzat]

In one week already a better champion than Leon. We wouldn’t have heard from that dude for 6 months had he won 😂

[@MondoSongs]

Faaaaaaaaacts

[@mdm9096]

+1 True that

[@thehighlightreal3128]

That’s true even tho Belal has a boring style he makes it up with his promos and interviews

[@starseeddeluxe]

Belal's trash talk is about 1 zillion times better than Leon. Belal is going to be a beloved champion. Tony Ferguson was once considered a tough watch, until he became a legend.

[@theeagle2375]

Belal is such a good guy He is champ but he is returning to the gym after a week to help his friend

[@usaydpak2999]

i love this guy he's always happy and in good mood. Hope he can defend the belt for long.

[@sodobson]

I WASNT A FAN.. but i am. now. way to handle yourself with class after ya win. well done

[@sbs-0055]

I respect your honesty sir

When?😂

im glad leon i give up edwards loss, tired of his lackluster performances. belal is alot more exciting to watch, deserves to be champion

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Let's all be honest, if overrated Colby or Brady and Thompson had Belal's winning streak, people would have called them top 3 all time great welterweights. Just appreciate Belal at this point.

[@diggitydank1083]

Ive been saying for a minute now dont sleep on Belal. Hes a humble dude that i was happy to watch beat Leon.

[@AF-my4zj]

You're right but they refuse to have those conversations

[@venice2823]

Different fighting styles....Belal couldn't finish Burns in 5 rounds when Burns could only use 1 arm......He has a boring style, its not the record.

[@highmetalman6621]

Any time I hear ANYONE say anything about "facing the boogeyman" I always think that's there's only one Boogeyman and that WAS Tony Ferguson back in his prime. But more respect needs to be put on Belal's name for real.

Ferguson didn’t beat any big names tho

Islam is racist. Calling themselves the greatest religion and always calling others impure, doesn’t get any more racist than that

[@relaxingm3340]

congrats brother belal you deserve it

Sounds like Usman should fight Shavkat for next title shot. Belal can sit or call his shot for the next guy in the meantime or wait for winner of Shavkat/Usman

hey more power to him if he beats Shavkat

[@abe2942]

Tbh they have Shavkat and Usman fight in October for the contender spot. If he is the boogie man then he should take out usman, if usman wins they he finally breaks his losing streak and gets a good one against the man on a winning streak.
