Colby Covington takes aim at Belal Muhammad: 'He's a little b*tch'

The welterweight title changed hands this past Saturday in the UFC 304 main event in Manchester, England.  Belal Muhammad captured the crown by defeating then-champion Leon Edwards via unanimous decision.  

With a new champion in place, fourth-ranked Colby Covington seized the opportunity to go after Muhammad in an interview with Submission Radio.  Covington would ‘love’ to fight “Remember the Name.”  

“You know, the guy’s a f**king p*ssy. The only time that Belal the racist juice monkey wanted to fight me was when I already had a title fight signed, sealed and delivered. That’s the only time he wanted to fight me. Otherwise, he’s never said my name because he knows he’s a little b*tch and he knows what I would do to him,” Covington said.  ““If I cross paths with him, he won’t be champion anymore. He won’t be a man anymore. I will take his man card and we know he’s still a virgin.“

Covington, a former interim welterweight titleholder, has fought for the undisputed title three times and lost in each one.  He’s coming off a loss to Edwards and hasn’t put together back-to-back wins since 2019.  He still plans to lobby the fight promotion for a match against Muhammad.  

“I’d love to fight him. I hope that fight happens. I’ll do whatever it takes to get to that.  I’m going to talk to the UFC, see what I need to do to get to that fight. But, you know, I can tell you that he knows that I’m in his crosshairs now,” Covington said.  “He’s not going to take me down. He’s not going to be able to put a wrestling game plan on me. His striking sucks.”

““Honestly he’s got nothing for me. It’d be an easy fight,” Covington continued.  “And you know he’s going to look to duck and pick and choose all the easiest fights he can. But guess what? He’s not a star. He has no pull in the company, so he’s going to do what he’s told like a good little boy.”
