Welterweight champion Belel Muhammad launched some heavy criticisms Sean Strickland‘s way after the former middleweight titleholder was soundly defeated by champion Dricus Du Plessis in their rematch at UFC 312 on Saturday.
Muhammad called Strickland’s fighting ability ‘trash,’ and doesn’t think Strickland’s pre-fight talk matches his octagon performances.
“What did we learn? I say we learned that ‘Bully’ is always right. I’ve been saying forever. Sean sucks. He’s trash,” Muhammad said in a social media video. “He talks a big game, but he never walks. Even to the fans that sit there and hype him up like he’s the best boxer, the best boxing defense, this and that.
“He’s going to go to war and kill. ‘I would bleed for my fans. I would die for my fans.’ Blah blah blah. But you go out there and he just jabs and teeps and fights like a scared little girl,” Muhammad continued.
“He doesn’t want to get hit. Even when you’re down four rounds, he doesn’t go all out. He doesn’t have it in him unless it’s five seconds left in the fight and he wants to yell and have that highlight reel and wants people to say that he’s crazy, he’s nuts. He’s not He’s just a racist little clown that’s hiding in the body of a fighter. He’s a scared little boy hiding in the body of a fighter. He’s a coward, and he shows it in his fights.”

“He sucks. Finally we get to get rid of giving this guy undeserved title shots,” Muhammad added.
