Team Khabib comes in support of Belal Muhammad

After Leon Edwards’ win over Colby Covington at UFC 296, Belal Muhammad, who was the backup fighter, claimed to be the next title contender. However, ‘Rocky’ dismissed that notion during the post-fight press conference. Moreover, his coach also dismissed Muhammad and preferred Gilbert Burns to be the next challenger. However, ‘Remember the Name’ got backing from his and Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s manager, Ali Abdelaziz.

Ali Abdelaziz believes that Leon Edwards’ team is afraid to go against Belal Muhammad. Also, even though they’ve dismissed him as a potential challenger, Abdelaziz doesn’t think their opinion would matter as much as Dana White’s opinion does.
