Darren Till and Belal Muhammad spar on Twitter over UFC 287 predictions

Darren Till and Belal Muhammad exchanged heated words on Twitter ahead of UFC 287.

MMA fans are eagerly anticipating UFC 287, which is set to take place tonight in Miami, Florida. The event features an exciting fight card, which will be headlined by the rematch of the middleweight championship between current champion Alex Pereira and former division king Israel Adesanya.

UFC fighter Darren Till shared his predictions for the upcoming event on Twitter, which sparked a social media spat with top welterweight contender Belal Muhammad. Till predicted a third-round knockout victory for Pereira, a third-round submission win for Gilbert Burns, and a decision win for Rob Font, among other predictions.

"Alex Pereira 3rd round knockout. Gilbert burns 3rd round submission. Rob font decision. Kevin Holland decision. Rosas Jr 2nd round submission. Michelle waterson decision. My picks 🤗"

However, Belal Muhammad didn't take kindly to Till's predictions and replied with a scathing tweet:

"Ur picks are trash"

Muhammad, who was hoping to secure a title shot against current champion Leon Edwards, had his dreams dashed by Colby Covington. The situation led to Till taking a jibe at Muhammad by mentioning Covington's name in his reply.

"Colby"

The exchange continued, with Muhammad finally stating:

"Your my enemy now 😂😂"

You know, a few Thai fights, me bread and butter stuff like that.”
