Belal Muhammad Fight Confirmed – Speculation Rises for Fight with Kamaru Usman

With Dana White's confirmation of the Belal Muhammad fight, speculation intensifies for a showdown with Kamaru Usman.

Dana White responded to the voices of UFC fans, heeding their call to set up the Belal Muhammad fight. With almost every top welterweight already booked for a bout, Kamaru Usman stands out as the prominent exception. Fans are now left wondering if the confirmed bout will indeed pit Muhammad against Usman.

Will Belal Muhammad Next Opponent Be Kamaru Usman?

As reported by InsideSport, all welterweight fighters have their fights booked except for Belal Muhammad and Kamaru Usman. And now it seems to be an upcoming big fight. In light of the fact during a recent press conference, White faced questions about the possibility of fans witnessing a fight involving Muhammad.

In response, White confirmed Muhammad’s fight and stated, “Belal Muhammad has a fight. (Can you tell who will fight?) No I’m not gonna tell you. (Will it be Kamaru Usman?) Belal Muhammad has a fight and we will announce it soon.”

Fans are resolute in their belief that a face-off between Muhammad and Usman is an essential watch. They argue that other contenders either have set fights or need more wins to vie for the title. Although White hasn’t confirmed Muhammad’s opponent as Usman, it’s a reasonable assumption based on the current scenario.

Given Usman’s reign as the dominant former champion and rightful claim to the title of the greatest welterweight of all time, coupled with Muhammad’s remarkable winning streak showcasing dominance in every fight, fans’ insistence on this matchup is indeed well-founded.

Furthermore, fans emphasize that Muhammad vs. Usman is the ideal #1 contender bout, creating a clear path for the winner to challenge the victor of Covington vs. Edwards, solidifying their shot at the welterweight title.
