Belal Muhammad divides MMA fans with bold prediction for Sean Strickland fight: "I have better boxing than him"

Belal Muhammad recently sent MMA fans into a frenzy with his prediction for a potential fight against Sean Strickland. The reigning UFC welterweight champion predicted a dominant victory over Strickland and claimed it would be an "easy" fight for him.

It's no secret that Muhammad and Strickland have no love for each other and have traded insults on social media several times over the past few months. Given that 'Tarzan' is known for his unfiltered manner of voicing his opinions on sensitive issues, it's unsurprising that he had something to say about Muhammad's outspoken support for the Palestinian cause earlier this year.

After Strickland slammed Muhammad for supporting Palestine in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, their feud heated up, and their intense rivalry fueled talks of a potential fight between the two.

During an interview with Submission Radio, Muhammad addressed a potential fight against Strickland and said:

"I would love to fight Sean, doesn't even have to be a belt on the line... I'd slap him around... When I think of tough fights, Sean's not one of them. I think he would be an easy fight for me... I have better cardio than him... I have better boxing than him."
