Belal Muhammad at UFC Vegas 51
There’s no doubt that UFC Welterweight Belal Muhammad will convince his fans to practice what his nickname says- To ‘Remember The Name.’ Muhammad has finally avenged his most devastating loss in the most impressive way possible. Muhammad fought a rematch against Vicente Luque at UFC Vegas 51, against whom the first fight happened back in November 2016 when Luque knocked Muhammad out in the first round. With Luque hitting the absolute prime of his career, it was believed by many that Muhammad will perish this time as well.
But Muhammad had some other plans that led to a shock amongst his haters and doubters. Muhammad made sure that Luque stays the one to operate according to his game plan and not vice versa, as the former was able to secure at least one takedown per round on Luque and not only that, dominate Luque in his area of advantage of striking aspect as well.
Teddy Atlas lauds praise on Belal Muhammad’s gameplan for Vicente Luque fight
Muhammad’s way to the top to earn a title shot couldn’t have been solidified any better and it’s likely that Chicago’s very own Muhammad is going to fight some more notable names under his record. Muhammad has called out #1 welterweight Colby Covington in his post-fight interview.
Look out for the tweets from international singing sensation Zayn Malik, legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas, UFC 274 headliner Justin Gaethje, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Pena and many more as they all pour credits where there is due over Muhammad’s skill to fight and win over a ferocious finisher in Luque.
What do you make of these reactions and what was your reaction to Muhammad avenging his second career loss against Luque? Who do you think should Muhammad fight next? For his callout, Colby Covington is most likely to fight #3 ranked welterweight Khamzat Chimaev, who’s coming off the biggest win of his career over former title challenger Gilbert Burns at UFC 273. Even though losing his last fight, Burns could be the next big name for Muhammad to fight and an exciting matchup between 2 phenomenal grapplers.
