Belal Muhammad doesn’t have time for YouTubers like Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.
“Remember,” which removed 10 months from his dominant title win performance against Leon Edwards in Manchester, will get his first welterweight gold to Streaking Australia’s sensation Jack Della Maddarena when the promotion returns to Montreal for UFC 315 this Saturday night.
The trash talk between Muhammad and “JDM” was relatively quiet, but it virtually stops anyone in the department from trying to insert themselves into the spotlight. That includes Ian “Everyone is Fearing Me” Garry and Colby Covington’s Clingy Planckster.
Even former welterweight King Kamal Usman got caught up in the act after he and Muhammad met quite fiercely in September on the former pound-4 pound podcast.
Belal Muhammad believes Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington should do a podcast together
Eventually, Muhammad will have to deal with the likely surge of Ian Garry, but like Usman and Covington, Chicago natives are not interested in entertaining a few washed-down fighter-turned podcasters.
“Do you have to fear a guy who’s a three-game winning past champion and has no knees, no cartilage or big head? I think it’s okay.” “These guys are like YouTubers now. Kamal is a podcaster. Colby is a YouTuber. They need to do a podcast together: “The biggest loser.”
Covington has yet to book a return to the octagon since facing Joaquin Buckley in December. This loss moved “Chaos” 2-4 in his final sixth inning, and his final victory came in March 2022 against Jorge Masivdal.
Meanwhile, Kamal Usman recently booked his first fight since dropping three in a row for the first time in his career. Ironically, “Nigerian Nightmare” comes back to take over the same man who defeated Covington on his final outing.
