Khabib Nurmagomedov Could Eventually Make a Comeback to UFC 300; Belal Muhammad Teases Sensational Return

UFC 300 is three months away, and the fans eagerly await a blockbuster fight. UFC CEO Dana White initially announced some fights. However, none of the big names are yet to feature in the blockbuster event. Belal Muhammad, the number two ranked welterweight in the division, is also waiting for his title fight against Leon Edwards.

However, the 35-year-old surprised everyone with a recent Instagram comment. The number one contender commented about a possible return of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 300. The Dagestani fighter is currently retired from the sport, and a return might just surprise the fans.

Is Belal Muhammad right about Khabib Nurmagomedov?

Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the biggest superstars in the UFC and the fans have eagerly awaited his comeback. The 35-year-old announced his retirement from the sport after the sudden demise of his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Although the Dagestani fighter had a brief stint as a coach, he is now fully retired and is focused on his family. UFC 300 is one of the most iconic events and Nurmagomedov’s comeback might just prove to be a surprise for the fans.

Belal Muhammad recently took to Instagram to comment on a post by ‘espnmma’. The video highlights Zlatan Ibrahimović and Khabib Nurmagomedov speaking to each other. Both the stars seemed to be engaged in a serious conversation. However, the interesting part is Muhammad’s comment, which has raised a lot of speculation about the 35-year-old’s comeback. Belal Muhammad commented on the post, saying, “Could he be in someone’s corner.”

Although his long-time coach Javier Mendez has dismissed any plans of him making a comeback. It will be interesting to see whether the former champion surprises the fans. While the fans would love to see “The Eagle” back in action, Muhammad would also love to feature at UFC 300.

Will Belal Muhammad take on Leon Edwards at UFC 300?

UFC 300 is undoubtedly the most awaited event for the MMA fans this year. However, the fans are disappointed with the UFC for delaying the announcement of the main card fights for such a massive event. There is a possibility that the fans might get to see the welterweight champion in action. Leon Edwards dominated his performance at UFC 296, where he took on Colby Covington. After successfully defending his title against “Chaos” it seems “Rocky” might just have to face his next challenger at UFC 300.

Number two-ranked Belal Muhammad might be his opponent after his last performance. ‘Remember the name’ was last seen inside the Octagon at UFC 288 when he took on Gilbert Burns. He won the fight via decision, thus staking his claim as the number one contender. As fans desperately wait for the announcement of the big fights.

Will Belal Muhammad get the opportunity to feature at UFC 300? Or will the legend Khabib Nurmagomedov make a surprise return? Let us know in the comments below.
