Belal Muhammad isn't content waiting for Edwards and Covington to fight ... the #3 ranked welterweight has designs on jumping Colby, and fighting Leon at UFC 294 in October in Abu Dhabi!
"There’s not a bigger fight they can make in Abu Dhabi than me fighting for the belt in Abu Dhabi."previously said Colby would get the next title shot. Assuming the UFC prez sticks with his original plan, we asked Belal if he's been told he has next.
"Yeah, for sure," Muhammad said, continuing ..."I saw Dana in the back. He said, ‘Yup, you got it, man. You earned it. You got your spot now.’ When you hear it from the boss’ mouth that’s all I need to hear. That’s like freakin' -- the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You’re like, ‘Uh, got it, finally.’"
