Belal Muhammad doesn’t charge UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis’ abilities very extremely.
Du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) referred to as Muhammad a loser for saying that UFC light-weight champion Islam Makhachev may beat him, prompting Muhammad to go off on him and his abilities.
“They requested me, ‘Will you struggle Islam?’ and I used to be like, ‘No, I wouldn’t struggle Islam,’ however I feel Islam is trying to be a double champion, he may go up and struggle Du Plessis proper now and beat him,’” Muhammad stated on his “Bear in mind The Present” podcast.
“I’m standing by that. I feel he may. I used to be making an attempt to be good about it, however truthfully, Du Plessis sucks, if I’m being sincere about it. Ability-for-skill, I might dominate Du Plessis, and I don’t assume he’s that good. I do assume Islam would dominate him and outgrapple him, and take him to the bottom.”
Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) runs issues again with welterweight champion Leon Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) within the UFC 304 major occasion July 27 on the Co-op Stay in Manchester, England.
Du Plessis wasn’t on Muhammad’s radar earlier than, however he’s now.
“I’m saying Islam can beat you, and he needs to be like, ‘Oh, you’re a loser, you don’t have any followers,’” Muhammad continued. “Now you’re placing your head within the combine with me, so I beat Leon now that simply units the desk for this struggle proper right here if he will get previous (Israel) Adesanya.”
“I used to be making an attempt to be good however Dricus sucks. After I beat Leon he’ll be my best path to double-champ standing.”
