After Makhachev, Topuria goes after Belal Muhammad: “No completions, no girlfriend…”
Less than two weeks from UFC 308 from Abu Dhabi in which Ilia Topuria will put her featherweight belt on the line against Max Hollowaythe Hispanic-Georgian continues to accumulate enmities for future fights. If a week ago it was Islam Makhachev -lightweight champion- the object of Ilia’s criticism, has now had good words for the Dagestani in order to attack Belal Muhammad -welterweight champion.
Makhachev is one of the few who I would say deserves the place he has
Through a live broadcast on his Instagram account, Topuria has ‘made peace’ with Khabib’s cousin Nurmagomedov stops attacking the fighter from Palestine. “Makhachev is a tough guy. A good champion. One of the few that I would say deserves the place it has. That’s why I say that I would like to share the octagon with him. Not like Belal… please,” he acknowledged.
Furthermore, he would later dedicate a tweet to him where laughed at him, reminding him of a tweet from Rakhmonov some time ago about I had never finished anyone in the UFC -he did end Brady, Sato and Montano- and that he was not capable of having a girlfriend or children either. “Without completions, sin noqueos, sin knockdowns, no girlfriendwithout children. Belal has never finished off any man or woman,” he said. As if that were not enough, in the aforementioned live broadcast he also predicted that Shavkat Rakhmonov will sing in the fight they have between them at the next UFC 310 where the welterweight belt will be at stake, and then call him “false champion.”

Muhammad does not remain silent
After seeing Topuria call him a false champion, Belal Muhammad’s response was immediate, and came out to his ‘X’ account to defend himself. “This idiot just bought a ‘BMF’ belt to pose with. “He’s starting to become the Georgian version of Colby Covington,” he stated. The clash between the two seems real, but the difference of two category weights is a great impediment for this fight to happen one day.
After this tweet was when Ilia posted hers about the Palestinian had never finished anyone to laugh at him, which got a final response: “Now you’re just copying things word by word of the memes.” Who knows if this intersection of statements leads to a future fight, but for now it seems that Ilia Topuria has set her sights on the champions of higher divisions so that remain alert for the future.
