Colby Covington drew a joke at high school level at Belal Muhammad prior to UFC 315.
UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad will defend his title for the first time on UFC 315 this Saturday in Montreal. Jack della Maddalena earned the title shot despite a whole series of top candidates who made strong cases, after an undefeated run in the Octagon.
Muhammad has not made many friends among his welterweight colleagues during his continuous 11-ferest-winning series in the Octagon. He has had countless beef with some of the best stars in the division, including triple title finer Colby Covington, despite the two polarizing welter weights that never go into the cage.
Despite the fact that Covington and Mohammed are in their UFC career opposite routes, Covington did not prevent the Welterweight title holder from far away.

Belal Muhammad responds to the latest trolls of Colby Covington on the UFC Pi
Covington, who repeatedly taunted Mohammed during his rise of the rankings of Welterweight, has become a prominent streamer and content -maker between UFC performances. During one of his recent streams while filming a training at the UFC Performance Institute, Covington took over food for Muhammad from one of the facility cabinets and moved it so that the champion could not find it.
It wasn't long before Mohammed noticed Covington's trolljob.
During his UFC 315 Media Day conference, Muhammad responded to the latest antics in Covington.
“He hid my food? I'm not even in Las Vegas, that's how much an idiot he is,” said Muhammad about Covington. “I don't know what he is doing. These guys are now like YouTubers. Kamaru is a podcaster, Colby is a YouTuber.
“They have to do a podcast together,” the biggest losers. “
Next to his back and forth with Covington, Muhammad and one of Covington's most notorious rivals came in after a podcast episode had become a chaotic scene.

The bad blood of Belal Muhammad with Colby Covington's double rival reaches boiling point
Muhammad and former UFC champion Welterweight Kamaru Usman have exchanged for months and months on social media for the return of Usman to the cage. Their feud reached an apparent boiling point during a too many released podcast episode that ended abruptly after 10 minutes when Usman and Muhammad came into a fight.
Prior to his comeback at UFC Atlanta, Usman admitted that he and Mohammed would need the security to separate them if they would come backstage during an event. Usman could possibly earn a title shot with a victory over Joaquin Buckley in his Welterweight returns next month.
Usman was recently critical of Mohammed because he refused to combat UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in a potentially future superfight. Muhammad and Makhachev are friends and teammates under the supervision of the UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov, whose 'Hart is not okay' with the two under studies who fight each other.
If Muhammad becomes 315 victors this weekend, the planned welterweight movement of Makhachever can be further delayed. But in the meantime, Mohammed continues to go in with Usman, so that a potential future confrontation is fueled in the cage.
