Belal Muhammad is unhappy with Dana White via UFC 312 response
Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad has called on Dana White for what he regards as a hypocritical reaction to Sean Strickland's rather matte performance on UFC 312.
During the press conference after the fight in Australia, White would celebrate the toughness of Sean Strickland after he had fought through a painful broken nose on the way to a unanimous decision.
“Who is more focused, professional and solid in a fight than he is if he is injured?” Wit from the media: “None of the tongue or” No, that didn't hurt me “or something like that.
“The man remains focused, keeps coming up, there is never a hint of how he behaves outside the octagon when he is there … Absolutely professional, it's actually fascinating. I don't think I have ever seen that With a man who behaves as he leads to fighting. “
Those comments were not good at Mohammed, especially since White was so critical of his own title -winning performance against Leon Edwards in July 2024.
“I said I would go there and dominate him, and I dominated him – but then you have Dana White and say,” Oh, well, it wasn't a barn burner, “Muhammad said during a recent interview with Barrestool Chicago .
'I walked through him [Edwards]And you will see Strickland doing this weekend and Dana White is like 'ah man, he is so tough and professional, even when he broke his nose, he manned'.
“I am as” Bro, that was the worst title fight I've ever seen in my life, the worst title Challenger version and yet you try to put him on a pedestal as a Bro, to leave. “
It should be noted that Mohammed himself already has one eye on the middleweight, even a detailed breakdown of how he had defeated Dricus du Plessis for a second UFC title.
Response to Sean Stricklands UFC 312 Loss distributes its own team
Just a few days after UFC 312, head coach Eric Nicksick would cause a stir when he asked his bends with Strickland after a 'uninspired' version underneath.
“I think he should evaluate what he wants to do in sport … I want to coach world champions. My motivations are different. Just to appear a kind of appearance and to do that and not really supporting it, was just a little not inspiring for me. “
Nicksick admitted that he was 'disappointed' in Strickland because of the lack of effort of his star performance in the championship rounds, and confirmed that it was simply 'uninspired fighting'.
A few days later, Strickland would respond to those comments and acknowledge that it was unlikely that Nicksick would be back in his corner.
“I love Eric, he is a friend of mine and he will stay a friend of mine – he will probably be in my corner [again]? Probably not, “he said in an Instagram post.
“I don't fight to lay straps on the wall. I am not f— – fight because Eric wants to get rid of – fancy podcast … via the UFC and Fight fans, you have changed my F – life.
“I still have a lot of fighting on my contract, I love to fight [and] I go back to the gym, work on my A – Off and starting at F – Square One. That's just what life is like. “
