Belal Muhammad is considering two possible opponents for his shot at the Welterweight title. He’s thinking about facing either the up-and-coming undefeated fighter, Shavkat Rakhmonov, or the former champion, Kamaru Usman. Usman, who has recently lost three fights in a row, is being viewed by some, including former champions like Ben Askren, as a potentially easier match for Muhammad. If Muhammad picks Usman for his title challenge, it will mark Usman’s first fight in 2024. His most recent bout was against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 back in October 2023.
Is Usman Past His Prime and a Well-Known Fighter? A Smarter Pick for Belal?
