Belal Muhammad has often been criticized for his lackluster performances. Nevertheless, he currently reigns as the welterweight champion after defeating Leon Edwards at UFC 304. Recently, his former rival, Sean Brady, was in favor of Muhammad and came to his defense.
At UFC 280, 'Remember The Name' TKO'd Brady, which is the only loss in the latter's entire MMA career. In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Brady spoke about his defeat at the hands of Muhammad and mentioned how respectful the UFC welterweight champion was towards him after their bout, saying:
"There was never any beef with us. He [Belal Muhammad] gave me my first loss—he was the better man that night... I think he gets a lot of hate for no reason... He was very respectful to me in the cage, after the fight. I have no problems with him. But, of course, as a competitor, as a fighter, I can't wait to fight him again."
