Belal Muhammad desires Demetrious Johnson to place his cash the place his mouth is.
The reigning UFC welterweight champion and Johnson, the GOAT of the flyweight division, just lately butted heads over Muhammad disagreeing with Johnson’s prediction that Leon Edwards would defeat Muhammad at UFC 304 this previous July. Muhammad went on to win a one-sided determination over Edwards to assert the 170-pound title.
Johnson was hardly apologetic after Muhammad criticized his evaluation, evaluating his high-level expertise to that of seven-time Tremendous Bowl champion Tom Brady to elucidate why he has extra credibility than Muhammad. Throughout Johnson’s reign as UFC flyweight champion, he efficiently defended his title 11 consecutive instances, a promotional report.
Muhammad has since responded to Johnson’s feedback by way of social media, difficult “Mighty Mouse” to make picks for UFC 306 to see who actually is aware of what they’re speaking about in relation to breaking down fights.
“I didn’t say you suck at preventing,” Muhammad wrote. “I stated you suck at analyzing and choosing fights.
“I problem you to a pick-off for the Sphere card. We choose all of the fights and loser makes a public apology.”
UFC 306, which takes place Sept. 14 at Sphere in Las Vegas, is scheduled to be a 10-fight card. The lineup is headlined by bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley defending his title towards Merab Dvalishvili, with flyweight champion Alexa Grasso assembly Valentina Shevchenko in a trilogy bout within the co-main occasion.
There seems to be no real animosity between Muhammad and Johnson, so the welterweight champion is probably going simply discovering methods to remain busy as he considers his choices for his first title protection.
