Belal Muhammad break downs how a potential fight with Dricus Du Plessis is would play out
Belal Muhammad has unveiled a meticulous strategy to defeat middleweight contender Dricus Du Plessis should they faceoff in a superfight sometime in the future.
Du Plessis recently defended his UFC middleweight title with a dominant unanimous decision over Sean Strickland at UFC 312 and now eyes further challenges. With possible bouts against undefeated Khamzat Chimaev or rising contender Nassourdine Imavov looming, Du Plessis remains central in the title picture.
Muhammad, who is considering a move to 185 pounds ahead of his first welterweight title defense, detailed his approach on social media:
“I’d come out him with a 1-2 then he’d wing an overhand I’ll duck it change levels and take him down then he’d shrimp and get the underhook to get out but he’ll be to weak to get up so then I’ll hit him with ground and pound for the rest of round 1... Round 3 starts and he’s distraught he can’t hit me he can’t take me down so then he tries spinning stuff I back up at the right time and end up taking his back he lets me under chin out of frustration then I put him to sleep … and new double champ.”
