Safety remembered the title.
UFC welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad, stormed the cage to make good on this callout when Shavkat Rakhmonov defeated Ian Garry at UFC 310, cementing his spot as the subsequent challenger for Muhammad’s belt.
Once more.
Sadly, cageside safety did not get the memo and was already on excessive alert after a collection of altercations, together with this meltdown from present bantamweight titleholder Merab Dvalishvili — no stranger to mood tantrums.
Muhammad was ultimately let via after a short delay.
“Yeah, I don’t know, they thought I used to be gonna do, they thought I used to be pulling a Merab, like hopping over and going loopy or one thing like that,” Muhammad informed The Schmo. “No, he known as me, bro! If somebody calls me into the cage I’m gonna go in there, proper? I don’t assume (safety) heard it, they didn’t notice what was happening they thought I used to be stepping into to assault him, I’m similar to, bro, chill.”
Safety isn’t the one one who wants to relax today.
Rakhmonov was initially booked to battle Muhammad within the UFC 310 headliner; nonetheless, “Bear in mind the Identify” was bounced by an premature toe an infection and compelled to withdraw. Matchmakers had been fast to pivot and elevate Garry from UFC Tampa on brief discover.
Taking “The Future’s” place in “The Sunshine State” is Colby Covington.
No phrase but on when the recently-cleared Muhammad will return to defend his title, however first or second quarter of 2025 might be a secure guess, assuming Rakhmonov escaped his Garry battle at UFC 310 with no main accidents (like this).
Keep tuned.
