UFC 288: Twitter reacts to Belal Muhammad’s decision win over Gilbert Burns

Belal Muhammad established himself as an undeniable No. 1 welterweight contender on Saturday when he defeated Gilbert Burns in the short-notice UFC 288 co-headliner.

After both men agreed to the fight on 16 days’ notice, Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) earned arguably the biggest win of his career with a unanimous decision over Burns (22-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) in the high-stakes matchup at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Muhammad is now unbeaten in his past 10 fights at 170 pounds, and has a serious argument for the next title shot.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Muhammad’s victory over Burns at UFC 288.
