The first UFC fighter to test positive for coronavirus, Lyman Good will return to the octagon for the first time since recovering and face off against Belal Muhammad on June 20.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani of ESPN revealed how he struggled with training and was forced to pull out of his fight with Muhammad, which was originally scheduled for UFC 249 on April 18, he said.

“I knew something was up. I know my body. I’ve been through it all. I’ve been through a lot of injuries and a lot of other things. But this was different. As a professional athlete, we’re always constantly pushing our bodies. For me, my body was like my point check to see how physically I feel and everything. And my body just wasn’t there at all.”

Just one month on and it appears Good is good to go once again. The “American Cyborg” posted out to social media yesterday to confirm his welterweight bout against Muhammad had been rearranged for June 20.

Good was last seen in action late last year at UFC 244. He picked up a big win over Chance Rencountre scoring the TKO finish inside three rounds. Before that, he was submitted by BJJ wizard Demian Maia at UFC Fortaleza. Good will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins in the UFC for the first time since joining the promotion in 2015.

Muhammad is currently riding a two-fight win streak since losing to surging contender Geoff Neal in January 2019. The American picked up a unanimous decision win over Curtis Millender at UFC 236 before submitting Takashi Sato a few months later at UFC 242.

UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad has his eyes on a fight with Colby Covington after defeating Tim Means in Sydney over the weekend.

Covington has been in nearly everyone’s crosshairs ever since he went off on Brazilians, which has earned him many enemies, including a confrontation with Fabricio Werdum.

Muhammad took the opportunity following his win over Means to call Covington out:

“I just want to get a top-15 guy, hopefully Colby Covington,” Muhammad, who’s won three straight, told MMAjunkie backstage at Qudos Bank Arena. “He’s sitting on the sidelines begging (UFC champion Tyron) Woodley for a fight, but Woodley’s hurt. So, there’s nobody else for him to fight. All these other guys are already booked.

“Colby Covington needs an opponent. I’m here, December 30th, let’s do it. What’s up?”

Covington now infamously went in on Brazil and Brazilians in the leadup and prior to his fight with Demian Maia, referring to them as animals and other disparaging remarks.

Muhammad on the other hand feels as though he’s the perfect answer to Covington’s heel turn.

“I got a lot of Brazilian fans, a lot of Brazilian friends. My coach is Brazilian,” Muhammad said. “When you disrespect the whole country like that, and it’s not even in a good way. You have like fifth-grade trash-talk. So it’s not even good trash-talk. It’s just being ignorant for no reason. When people talk like that, they deserve to get slapped. And I’m the guy to do the slapping.”

How do you feel about a fight between Covington vs Muhammad? Could Muhammad beat the streaking Covington?
