During his appearance on Barstool Chicago, Muhammad slammed White for what he perceived as hypocrisy, referencing his dominant victory over Leon Edwards at UFC 304. Instead of receiving praise, the UFC head honcho downplayed his win, calling it “wasn’t a barn burner.” Muhammad said:

“I said I was going to go in there and dominate him. I dominated him, and then you had Dana White saying, ‘Well, it wasn’t a barn burner.’ And I walked through him.”

Furthermore, ‘Remember the Name’ also pointed out how UFC boss Dana White defended Sean Strickland’s underwhelming performance at UFC 312 to illustrate what he sees as double standards. The reigning welterweight champion said:

“Then you'll see Strickland not do anything in the [at UFC 312] and Dana White like, Man he’s [Strickland] so tough, so professional being in the cage, right? It’s way different. You know even when he broke his nose. He’s manned up [Dana White: Nobody is more professional than this guy is even with a broken nose]. I was like, bro that was the worst title fight I've ever seen in my life. Worst title challenger performance. You're trying to like put him out of pedestal, I'm like bro, get out of here. “

Dana White clarifies misunderstanding about his reaction to Belal Muhammad at UFC 304

Addressing the claims in an interview with Kevin Iole, the UFC CEO clarified his reaction, stating:

“Let me say this to be fair: I was tired. I was in a bad mood. Everybody thinks that I don’t like Belal. I saw stuff posted that like ‘Dana is going to commit suicide right now because Leon (lost) – that’s the furthest thing from the truth.
