“Leon Lives Rent Free in Your Head” – Belal Muhammad’s Trash Talk on Leon Edwards and His Son Backfires as UFC Fans Go Up in Arms

Belal Muhammad is slated to be the next title contender for Leon Edwards‘s welterweight championship. He recently shared a post to troll the British fighter and even his son on social media. However, it did not sit well with the fans and they sounded off on ‘Remember the Name’.

Belal Muhammad has been on a roll since 2019. The 2nd-ranked welterweight fighter racked up a winning streak of nine fights. Meanwhile, Muhammad believes that Leon Edwards is afraid to fight him since ‘Rocky’ dismissed him as the next contender following his win at UFC 296. Now, ‘Remember the Name’ has made an attempt to get under the champion’s skin. Let’s see what transpired.

Belal Muhammad trolls Leon Edwards and his son

As mentioned earlier, Belal Muhammad believes that Leon Edwards is not willing to give him a title shot and is trying to avoid him. Even though he’s next in line for a championship fight, there is still no confirmation yet. Muhammad took to social media and mentioned what he thinks the end of 2024 for the UFC’s welterweight division will look like.

Muhammad shared an edited picture of a couple of UFC titles with him resting on the couch with Leon Edwards by his side. He captioned the post: “This time next year (me and my son).” Belal Muhammad went as far as to bring ‘Rocky’s son into the mix since he edited a picture of Edwards with his son to make his troll version. However, fans did not like what the 2nd-ranked welterweight shared on social media. Let’s see what they had to say.

Fans took jibes at ‘Remember the Name’ on Instagram

The fans didn’t share the same idea as Belal Muhammad with his latest trolling tactic. They believe that he is obsessed with Leon Edwards. They also claimed that ‘Rocky’ living in his head rent-free, which was apparent in several of his previous posts.

“bro is obsessed wit him”

“We get it, you want & deserve a title shot but this is next level weird sh*t. It’s like Leon lives rent free in your head & you can’t get over it.”

“Bro you doing too much….Definition of rent-free”

Some fans also urged Belal Muhammad to stick to fighting rather than talking trash. Others believe that these trolling tactics will only motivate Leon Edwards more to defeat ‘Remember the Name’.

“You trying a bit too hard. Just stick to what you do best, fighting. You don’t need the lane side antics you’ve been pulling lately. Good luck”

“Doesn’t realise he is giving Leon fuel”

Nevertheless, there were still some fans who understood Muhammad’s position. They don’t think there’s anything wrong with his trolling tactics. But one fan made a bold statement, claiming that he will never become a UFC champion.

“This is how Leon was begging a couple years ago. They all gotta do it. Can’t hate bilal for doing it now lol”

“you will never be champion”
