Belal Muhammad wants Khamzat Chimaev after UFC 280, disses Colby Covington: “Colby’s out here hiding”

The pre-fight build-up between Belal Muhammad and Sean Brady was real, but at the end of the night, only one man could walk out of the cage victorious. ‘Remember the Name’ gave fans an exact reason to do just that, as he lived up to his promise and finished the Philadelphia native. During fight week, […]

During fight week, things began escalating between Muhammad and Brady. At the press conference, things kind of reached their boiling point as both fighters would get pretty angry at one another and essentially promise to knock the other out.

Everybody was on the edge of their seats when it became time to throw down, and the two fighters did not disappoint. After an intense first round, the second began and things really turned into a brawl at the end. Both men stood on their feet, letting their hands fly.

Belal Muhammad would hurt Brady late into the second, and chaos really ensued. The Philly fighter attempted to work the cage and regather his wits, but ‘Remember the Name’ was on a mission. He chased Brady around the octagon, throwing a vicious cocktail of straights, hooks, and uppercuts. Eventually, the referee had seen enough and stepped in to stop the action after a series of particularly brutal blows.

Belal Muhammad calls out Khamzat Chimaev after claiming Colby Covington is “hiding”

After a monumental performance, Muhammad took the microphone and laid down fire. He boldly called out his next desired opponent and claimed that Colby Covington isn’t really as eager to fight as he may make it out to be.

“I do not think Colby (Covington) is going to be fighting (Khamzat Chimaev in March in the U.K.),” Belal Muhammad began. “Colby’s out here hiding. He’s doing his own little thing. He’s definitely not fighting Khamzat. The people talk about (Covington) like he’s the next big thing, but who has he beaten that’s won?”

“He’s beaten (Jorge) Masvidal on a three-fight losing streak. He’s beaten (Tyron) Woodley like on a five-fight losing streak. Everybody he’s fought and (beaten), they’re all coming off losing streaks. The only fight he had a good fight on was (Kamaru) Usman, and then he ended up getting finished in that fight. Other than that, everybody has been losses. He hasn’t been fighting these top guys. I just beat (Vicente) Luque who was on a seven-fight winning streak. I just beat (Brady), who was on a 15-fight winning streak. I’m the only one fighting guys that are on winning streaks.”

“I didn’t see (Chimaev) in the crowd, but I’d like to see him in the cage,” Belal Muhammad continued. “Brother, what happened to ‘Nate Diaz in August, Bully B in October’? I’ll fight you at 179.8. I don’t care about weight. I want to fight the best guys in the world, and I think I’m the best guy in the world, so step into my office.”

UFC leader Dana White eyes Khamzat Chimaev vs. Colby Covington in March UK return

UFC president, Dana White has confirmed the organization’s plan to return to the United Kingdom for a promotional event in March of next year – and remains receptive to the idea of booking a fight between the undefeated finisher, Khamzat Chimaev, and former interim titleholder, Colby Covington in a co-main event slot on a potential […]

Undefeated in 12 professional fights, Chimaev, an alum of Brave CF, featured in an impromptu catchweight co-headlining clash against Kevin Holland at UFC 279 back in September, securing a first round D’Arce choke win in a dominant submission performance.

As for Covington, the Clovis native currently occupies the #2 rank in the official welterweight pile, having most recently defeated fellow former undisputed title chaser, Jorge Masvidal with a unanimous decision victory back in their March grudge match.

Linked with a potential middleweight division return off the back of a hectic UFC 279 fight week, Chimaev was initially scheduled to fight the promotional exiting contender, Nate Diaz in the event’s headliner, however, missed weight by a staggering seven and a half pounds – resulting in the clash’s cancellation.

Khamzat Chimaev has been continually linked with a fight against Colby Covington

However, with the promotion expected to land their Octagon in the United Kingdom for a potential London card or a stadium show in Cardiff – topped by a welterweight title trilogy rubber match between recently minted champion, Leon Edwards, and former kingpin, Kamaru Usman – White has sights on booking Khamzat Chimaev on that card.

Appearing during an interview with Oscar Willis from The Mac Life to preview this weekend’s massive UFC 280 pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi, UAE – White maintained he was interested in booking Chimaev in a potential title-eliminator against Covington in the organization’s United Kingdom return in early 2023.

In another standout victory earlier this year, Khamzat Chimaev managed to defeat one-time undisputed title chaser, Gilbert Burns with a unanimous decision win back in April at UFC 273.

Colby Covington spotted alongside Kanye West, other celebrities at right-wing film premiere, discredits BLM group

UFC welterweight Colby Covington has made a name for himself with his radical views and overwhelming support for former President of the United States, Donald Trump.

UFC welterweight Colby Covington has made a name for himself with his radical views and overwhelming support for former President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Recently, Covington found himself amongst some of the biggest names in entertainment at the premiere of Candace Owens’ BLM documentary titled The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM. Whether you find Covington’s hot-takes refreshing, infuriating, or downright comical, it’s clear that ‘Chaos’ has gotten the attention of fellow conservatives.

Covington shared an image of himself on Instagram alongside famed rapper Kanye West, Candance Owens, and Ray J at the event.

“Paying my last respects to #BLM. They had a good run of scamming innocent Americans, but (Candace Owens) just buried them 12 feet deep with her new documentary The Greatest Lie Ever Sold!!!! Check it out on DailyWire+”

The official synopsis for Owen’s documentary reads:

“On the 2-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death, Candace revisits Minneapolis and the violent racially divided aftermath that fueled BLM’s global rise and filled its coffers.” It should be noted that in the film, Owens targets BLM the group and not specifically the Black Lives Matter movement.

Colby Covington Nearing a Return to the Octagon?

The last time we saw Colby Covington inside the Octagon was in a main event grudge match with a former friend turned bitter rival Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272. ‘Chaos’ scored a unanimous decision win, seemingly putting an end to the heated rivalry, but ‘Gamebred’ was far from down with Covington. Weeks later, Masvidal would allegedly attack Covington outside of a Miami steakhouse, leaving ‘Chaos’ with a fractured tooth and a wrist abrasion. Masvidal was charged with second-degree felony aggravated battery and criminal mischief and is currently awaiting trial tentatively scheduled for December 5th.

Reports indicated that Covington’s return to the Octagon had been delayed due to injuries sustained in the attack that was more severe than previously reported. However, UFC President Dana White dismissed that claim, revealing that Colby Covington was ready to go and they were simply in the process of working out who would be next for the former interim welterweight champion. Enter Khamzat Chimaev.

Following his failed weigh-in for a welterweight main event at UFC 279, it appeared that Chimaev was on his way to the middleweight division. Even ‘Borz’ teased the move on Twitter, posting an image of himself with the caption “185.” Five days later, Chimaev indicated that Colby Covington was the next man to meet him inside the Octagon. This is yet to be confirmed, but this is truly the case, does that mean the UFC is going to allow Chimaev the chance to make the 170-pound limit once again, or will Covington be moving up after two failed attempts to capture the welterweight championship? Only time will tell.
