Kamaru Usman didn’t hold back during his post-fight press conference — and Belal Muhammad was clearly in the crosshairs.
After a hard-fought bout, Usman shifted focus from the Octagon to the microphone, using his time at the podium to send a scathing message. “Some guys talk their way into opportunities they never earned,” he said pointedly, without naming names — but fans quickly connected the dots.
Usman’s words came off as a direct shot at Belal Muhammad, who has been vocal in his push for a title shot. The former champion questioned Belal’s resume, intensity, and place in the welterweight hierarchy, essentially dismissing him as “not built for championship rounds.”
🔥 “I’ve fought monsters. He’s fighting moments,” Usman added, his tone icy and deliberate.
Fans were quick to react on social media, many labeling it a “verbal KO” and praising Usman for “saying what needed to be said.”
With tensions rising, a clash between Usman and Muhammad might be more personal than ever.
