Belal Muhammad reacts to Shavkat Rakhmonov's 'word association' of him: "I’m gonna take offense to it"

Shavkat Rakhmonov is all set to face Ian Machado Garry in the co-main event at UFC 310 on December 7, 2024. The Kazakh fighter, alongside preparing for the upcoming bout, was recently spotted playing the word association game with @espnmma on Instagram.

When Rakhmonov was asked to associate UFC fighters with names, he associated Belal Muhammad with 'Uncertain Guy,' Leon Edwards with 'Careful Guy,' Kamaru Usman with 'Big Mouth,' Jack Della Maddalena with 'Brawler,' and his forthcoming opponent Garry with 'A Person Who Cannot Shut His Mouth.'

The other UFC fighters whose names were mentioned during the game did not respond to this video yet, however, Muhammad took the time to leave a comment, writing:

"I don’t know what that means but I’m gonna take offense to it 😂"

Originally, 'Remember the Name' was scheduled to face 'Nomad,' however, he had to withdraw from UFC 310 because of a bone infection, after which 'The Future' signed up to fight Rakhmonov. The winner of this fight will likely face the current welterweight champ in 2025 for the belt.
