"I'm the worst style matchup" - Belal Muhammad explains why the UFC doesn't want to "risk" booking him against Kamaru Usman or Khamzat Chimaev

Belal Muhammad recently gave his opinion on why the UFC has not booked him against high-profile welterweights Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev.

Muhammad has time and again called out Khamzat Chimaev for a welterweight showdown. While both fighters seemingly agreed to the bout on social media, the UFC was quiet on the matchup.

In a recent Twitter post, 'Remember the Name' referred to a potential bout between Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev as the "biggest money fight." Muhammad also claimed that the UFC is refraining from booking him against either the Nigerian-born champion or 'Borz'. He feels the Usman vs. Chimaev fight will fail to come to fruition should he defeat either fighter.

The 34-year-old American fighter wrote:

"I’m the worst style matchup for khamzat and usman and ufc knows that …them two are obviously the biggest money fight together so they couldn’t risk me beating either one yet but soon I’ll be undeniable"
