Top-ranked welterweight names the most "overrated" fighter in the division

Belal Muhammad has revealed who according to him is the most overrated fighter in the welterweight division of the UFC.

In a recent Q&A session with his fans on Reddit, top-ranked welterweight fighter Belal Muhammad didn't hold back when asked about the most overrated fighter in the division. Muhammad, who is known for his impressive performances in the octagon, named Colby Covington as the fighter he considers to be the most overrated in the division.

Responding to the claims, several fans have sided with 'Bully' as one of the fan wrote:

"dude isn't only the most overrated WW, he's one of the most overrated fighters in the entire roster"

While Covington has an impressive record of 17 wins and only three losses, he has yet to defeat a top-ranked contender in the division. His controversial statements and antics outside of the octagon have also drawn criticism from fans and fighters alike.

Muhammad, on the other hand, has been making waves in the welterweight division with his impressive performances. He is currently riding an eight-fight win streak, including a dominant victory over former champion Demian Maia, and most recently against Sean Brady at UFC 280. 'Bully' is currently ranked No.3 in the division.

For now, fans will have to wait and see how this plays out in the lead-up to upcoming events in the welterweight division.
