Prominent UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad recently revealed his past interest in stepping into the octagon with the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev.
“I have called out Khamzat before. This is one of those fights I have always aspired to, I always seek the toughest challenge. Stylistically, I think we match up very well. I think he will get past Du Plessis and become champion…” Muhammad stated.
Discussing the potential matchup and Chimaev`s fighting style, Muhammad explained his strategic approach:
“Khamzat hits very hard in the first round and comes out like a rocket… for me it simply means taking him into the later rounds and starting to wear him down,” he was quoted as saying by Submission Radio.
Looking ahead, it is important to note that Belal Muhammad`s next scheduled bout is against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315, set to take place on May 11 in Montreal, Canada.
