LONDON – UFC welterweight contender Belal Muhammad says he would have respected Sean Brady more if he went after Khamzat Chimaev.
Brady (15-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) called out various names, including Muhammad (21-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC), and he eventually got his wish. The pair will throw down Oct. 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.
Muhammad has been campaigning to fight Chimaev, who wound up getting matched up with Nate Diaz in the UFC 279 main event. Muhammad takes issue with Brady’s callout and thinks the unbeaten rising welterweight is underestimating him.
