“Wow, That’s F**ked Up”: Fans React as Dana White Says Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Belal Muhammad Fight Is Likely Next

The noted UFC Welterweight, Belal Muhammad, is going through a superb patch of his career. The 34-year-old secured a visibly dominant victory over his opponent, Sean Brady, in his last outing. ‘Remember The Name’ also extended his win streak to a remarkable 8 wins with his last victory at UFC 280. But despite holding such an extraordinary win streak and a remarkable 22-3 overall record, Muhammad is still struggling to get a shot at the championship of his division.

Recently, the UFC supremo, Dana White, appeared at the post-UFC 286 press conference and talked about Muhammad‘s future bouts in the promotion. The UFC boss revealed that the UFC was working out a fixture between Muhammad and the rising UFC Welterweight, Shavkat Rakhmonov. The noted ‘MMA Junkie also covered this news’ and ‘Tapology’ reporter Nolan King shared it in the form of a tweet. His post also gathered a lot of reactions and comments from his followers and other general Twitteratis.

Is Dana White neglecting Belal Muhammad as a fighter?

Nolan King’s tweet about White‘s fixture for Muhammad read, “Dana White says the UFC is working on Belal Muhammad vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov #UFC286″. However, the specific part of White’s video where he talked about ‘Remember The Name’ was shared by ‘MMA Junkie’. They also applied a similar caption to their post.

But a lot of fans might be a bit discontented since White actually failed to recollect who was Muhammad about to fight next. He talked to one of his assistants, stating, “What’s next for Belal? Yeah. Whos’ Belal fighting? I forgot”.

He was reminded that the UFC was fixing up a bout between him and the Kazakhstan-native, Shavkat Rakhmonov. However, fans didn’t see this fixture from the UFC as a very sensible one.

Almost all the fans had the same thing to say about Dana White’s revelation

Achieving an eight-fight win streak in the UFC isn’t a cakewalk at all. Since ‘Remember The Name’ achieved that awesome feat, fans had been waiting for him to be in line for a title shot next. But, in his interview, the UFC boss also stated that the next Welterweight title shot would go to Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington, which had the fans in utter shock.

Almost all of them expressed their pity upon Muhammad in the comments section of Nolan King’s tweet about the issue. Some such comments read:

• Wow, that’s f***ed up!

• Why the hell did belal vs colby not happen one of these weeks??

• They 100% don’t want Belal to get a title shot. I’m game either way, but it would be funny if they shoot themselves on the foot and Belal beats Rakhmonov.

• Bruh I don’t like Belal but they doing him so dirty

• Why would belal say yes to this?

• Belal need to go to Bellator

• They r pulling a tony on my man belal @bullyb170

• Dana definitely trying to keep belal out of a title shot. Poor guy

• UFC doing Belal dirty

On one hand, there was Belal Muhammad who was being denied a title shot even after eight straight wins. While on the other, Dana White stated that Colby Covington would be getting the next title shot against Leon ‘Rocky‘ Edwards.

It’s pertinent to note that Covington holds a 3-2 record in his last five fights and still will be challenging Edwards for the Welterweight title if everything goes as per plan. What are your thoughts in this regard?

Do you also think Belal Muhammad deserves a better fixture with more on stake?
