Belal Muhammad's next goal is to become welterweight GOAT, according to his coach

Belal Muhammad has had an incredible rise to the top of the welterweight division. The champion suffered two defeats in his first three UFC fights but has since gone on to win 12 of his next 14.

Muhammad is looking to become the greatest welterweight of all time alongside becoming a two-division champion. Speaking to Parry Punch, Louis Taylor, Muhammad's coach, said:

"Belal wants to prove to the world that he’s one of the greatest, if not the greatest, welterweight of all time. That is his new goal. His first goal was to be the UFC welterweight champion. Checkmate, done. His next goal is to climb that ladder and prove to all the haters he is a GOAT at that weight class. He's all in at making that path happen."

He added:

"He wants to pass up [Kamaru] Usman, he wants to pass up Matt Hughes, and potentially even get up there next to [Georges St-Pierre] and to tell the world this information, it’s just more hate finna come, but that’s his goals. You need a goal when you're a fighter. You need motivation. You don't want to be a journeyman like, 'Oh, I just want the next fight.' You want something that's going to make you great. You want a goal. And that's the next goal for our camp."
