Belal Muhammad gives four-word reaction to Leon Edwards' UFC London interview getting interrupted by fire alarm drill

Leon Edwards' recent UFC London media day interview was interrupted at various intervals by a fire alarm drill. This prompted the Englishman to jokingly accuse his bitter rival, Belal Muhammad, of being behind it all. Naturally, this drew a response from the man himself.

The UFC welterweight champion took to X/Twitter to poke fun at Edwards, hinting that his previous UFC 304 win over him, which cost 'Rocky' his title, has left a permanent scar on Edwards' psyche.

"I'm haunting this guy"

After being interrupted by fire alarm drills several times, a frustrated but somewhat amused Edwards seemed to be at a loss for words. He and Muhammad have quickly become heated rivals, with the feud being more intense on Muhammad's part, as he took issue with Edwards ignoring him as a title challenger in the past.

Now, 'Remember the Name' takes every chance he gets to belittle and undermine Edwards. So, Edwards opted to joke that Muhammad was behind the many interruptions.

"I feel like Belal did that."

Check out Leon Edwards' joke about Belal Muhammad (1:25):

While Edwards is determined to earn a trilogy bout with Muhammad to regain his welterweight belt, he must first overcome Sean Brady, a highly physical wrestler whose style has, historically, posed problems for the Englishman. The two men headline the UFC London card set for this Saturday.

A win would go a long way to fortifying Edwards' position as a top candidate for the next title challenger following Muhammad's upcoming bout, with him being expected to defend the welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315.
