Watch: Intoxicated Tai Tuivasa tries to instigate a fight between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad
Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad
Some comedic relief was witnessed at the end of UFC 280 as Tai Tuivasa, who competes in the heavyweight division of the UFC, in an intoxicated state jokingly tried to provoke a brawl.
He was trying to instigate a fight between the current UFC Middleweight champion Leon Edwards, who had emerged victorious against the defending champion Kamaru Usman by knocking him out with an out-of-the-world left kick, and Belal Muhammad, who had just won his welterweight bout against Sean Brady by TKO in round 2.
Tai Tuivasa was also seen doing ‘Shoeys’ in the arena while the main event was in action. Both Edwards and Muhammad took it in a fun and playful spirit and hence exchanged a few light-hearted conversations and laughs.
Victorious Belal Muhammad challenges Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev to fight after a splendid win at UFC 280
After defeating America’s Sean Brady, Belal Muhammad expresses his interest to fight someone big next as he aspires to be the best out there. On being asked about his future by the UFC commentator and ex-UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight fighter Daniel Cormier, Belal said, “I heard Leon Edwards is out here. Where is he at?”
Muhammad then turned his attention toward Khamzat Chimaev, and said, “I also heard the big bad wolf is coming back down.” Belal went on by saying that he can go on to fight even at middleweight if required as he is determined to leave a mark in the mixed martial arts world.
Being victorious in 8 fights in a row and undefeated in 9, it is needless to say that Muhammad is going to make a big impact in the world of UFC now, and if he carries on like this, we might see him compete for the title real soon.
