Former UFC <\/a>welterweight champion Kamaru Usman finds himself in a precarious position. Once a dominant force who ruled the 170-pound division with an iron fist, Usman has recently been on a downward spiral that’s caught the attention of his successor, Belal Muhammad. <\/p>

The transition from champion to challenger can be brutal, and Usman is learning this the hard way. Belal Muhammad now wears the welterweight crown after defeating Leon Edwards in July 2024 at UFC 304. He didn’t hold back in a recent interview that sent shockwaves through the MMA community.<\/p>

Belal Muhammad Slams Former Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman<\/h2>

Muhammad is known for his trash talk. With razor-sharp words, he essentially told Kamaru Usman that his days of relevance are over. He highlighted Usman’s three-fight losing streak and his extended absence from the octagon.<\/p>

“He’s on a three-fight losing streak, and when these guys are calling him out, he’s acting like, he’s putting himself on this pedestal like he’s still the champion like they shouldn’t be calling him out. Bro, you’re just a podcaster now. You haven’t fought in over a year, and if you’re not gonna defend your ranking, then leave, quit.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
