UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad recently commented on an Instagram post shared by a fan. He took a cheeky dig at former champion Leon Edwards in the process.
'Remember the Name' dethroned 'Rocky' to become the 170-pound king at UFC 304 in July last year. Muhammad showcased his superior wrestling prowess as he cruised to a unanimous decision victory over the Brit.
Since this fight, Edwards has suffered another defeat at the hands of Sean Brady at UFC London. Meanwhile, Muhammad is scheduled to take on Jack Della Maddalena for his first title defense at UFC 315.
Belal Muhammad recently dropped a hilarious remark directed towards Leon Edwards on an Instagram post shared by TheFightBubble. The post appeared to calculate the exact amount of money that would be needed to send Leon "2-3 years to Dagestan and forget".

Belal Muhammad trolls Leon Edwards for his performance against Sean Brady
Leon Edwards suffered his second successive loss against Sean Brady at UFC London. The fight was completely one-sided as Brady controlled and dominated the Brit on the ground before eventually submitting him in the fourth round.
UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad seemed to have been watching the fight live as he continued to troll his former opponent on social media. Muhammad has previously slammed Edwards and his team for using the fight timing as an excuse for 'Rocky's' poor performance against him at UFC 304.
After a lackluster performance against Brady, Muhammad fired shots at Edwards on X. One of his posts was read as:
"What time is it in London? Asking for Leon."
