Belal Muhammad had a dominant performance against the former welterweight champion Leon Edwards. While most expected Edwards to power through, the reality hit quite differently. During the bout, Edwards looked clueless in response to Muhammad’s aggressive wrestling throughout. However, now that the fight is over, the fire between the two has not been extinguished.
In a recent statement, the UFC welterweight champion Muhammad stated that Edwards had a lot of excuses to make. Calling him out for the same, Muhammad also predicted the outcome of his next fight. And surely, it was not a pleasant one for Edwards to hear.
“I predict once Brady gets him down two or three times he’ll find a submission… because Leon’s weak mentally and he’ll have flash backs from what I did to him,” said Muhammad.
