Fans in Turmoil as “Salty” UFC Welterweight ‘Disrespect’ Leon Edwards as a Champion: “He’s an Easier Fight Than Khamzat”

UFC fighters are known to face an array of backlash from fans and disrespectful callouts from fellow fighters. This is not a new culture to the UFC but has been prevalent forever. In fact, it is embedded in the MMA culture itself. Fans also enjoy the callout to an extent, giving them exciting hope for the upcoming fight. Recently, the Chech fighter Khamzat Chimaev was also called out by a fellow fighter. The fellow Welterweight fighter is none other than the undefeated Belal Muhammad. The call-out was pretty obvious.

While calling out the Chech fighter, Muhammad also insulted another Welterweight fighter. He tried to share his views on Leon Edwards. While talking, he said, “Nobody thinks Leon Edwards is the best right now.” Different fans have different opinions on the callout.

UFC fans’ perspective on Khamzat Chimaev being called out

The opposition faced by Edwards is not new to the culture of combat sports. However, the opinions in the comment under a Reddit post clash drastically.

Following their last fight that ended in ‘NC’, a fan wrote, “Talking like he wasn’t getting pieces by Leon.”

A ‘Rocky’ fan was hurt by the statement given by ‘Remember The Name’, “So much disrespect for Leon, y’all gonna see.”

There is indeed no lie to fans perceiving Belal Muhammad as, “Salty”.

Somebody preferred a different mode for their favorite fighter, “I don’t like lay n pray Belal, but war Belal is my man.”

When Muhammad said he wants to fight Khamzat Chimaev, a fan wrote, “Khamzat would ruin you, boy.”

A user had exposed their investment strategies in the comments by saying, “Belal is in a run. I don’t think anybody can beat him right now. 3 fights in a row I’ve won big money on his fights.”

A rational comment was found in between that thought differently on the situation, “With Belal’s new found confidence and undeniable streak, I think he might have a chance to smother and drown Rocky to a UD. But he has to be perfect and take him down/hold him there. Leon has proved why he’s champ.”
