Belal Muhammad’s manager is adamant that nothing besides a title shot for the UFC’s welterweight gold makes sense for his fighter.
Colby Covington and Leon Edwards are set to throw down at UFC 296. Muhammad was hoping to avoid waiting for that fight, but Covington has been blessed with the opportunity by Dana White thanks to ‘Chaos’ filling in as a backup for Edwards’ last fight.
So, despite the prolific winning streak that Muhammad now finds himself on, he will be shelved. Waiting for the conclusion to the Edwards and Covington fight.
