Belal Muhammad believes he saw "weaknesses" in rival Khamzat Chimaev during his previous victory over Gilbert Burns.
Muhammad, who is ranked at No.5 in the UFC's welterweight division, recently called out Chimaev on social media who is currently looking for his next challenge. The pair verbally agreed to a contest on Fight Island in October this year after the UFC announced their plans to return to the iconic venue.
The UFC contender believes his rival suffer defeat against any of the leading stars in the division if he continues to fight without a set strategy. “I saw weaknesses in him,” said Muhammad on Food Truck Diaries with Brendan Schaub. “Obviously, people are like, ‘Oh man, he’s not as good as we thought he was.’ But I’m like, ‘Yo, he showed that he had a chin, he showed that he got power,’ and it’s like — you’re fighting Gilbert Burns.
