Sean O'Malley seems quite impressed with Belal Muhammad after his performance against Vicente Luque.

In a recent Timbo SugarShow episode, hosts O'Malley and Tim Welch, along with guest Ricky Schmitt, were seen discussing a number of events, including Jake Paul's recent callout to Michael Bisping and Logan Paul's desire to fight Paddy Pimblett.

During their conversation, the three also discussed the recently concluded UFC Vegas 51, which featured a rematch between Muhammad and Luque.

Giving his take on 'Remember the Name's impressive performance, the UFC bantamweight contender seemed quite impressed with the welterweight's performance. O'Malley said:

"Belal's striking, surprisingly... Like he outstruck Vicente right? or pretty much. I feel like when I was watching, I was like damn... Belal was definitely landing. Belal fights like Frankie Edgar... like backs up, switching stances... has really f*cking good on his double legs."

Belal Muhammad wants to fight Colby Covington next

Belal Muhammad was seen calling out Colby Covington for a fight shortly after his outstanding performance against Vicente Luque.

The 33-year-old was asked in his post-fight interview who he would like to fight as his next potential opponent. In response, 'Remember the Name' said he wanted Covington next:

"Let me get the big mouth Karen, Colby Covington. He was out here calling out 55-ers. Come and fight a real 170-pounder, you coward. I'm a real 170-pounder, I'm winning fights. I'm not [Jorge] Masvidal off two losses. I'm not [Tyron] Woodley off five losses. I'm 'Bully B' off of seven wins. Come and fight a real challenge, coward."
