Belal Muhammad didn’t hold back when discussing Sean Strickland’s controversial remarks.
- Stirring Controversy: Strickland has repeatedly commented on the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel, often targeting Muhammad, who is of Palestinian descent.
- Seeking Attention: Muhammad believes Strickland’s comments are just a ploy for attention. "Honestly, I had no care about him at all until I posted one thing about Palestine, and it was literally like three years ago," Muhammad said on the Money Loyalty Legacy podcast.
Muhammad recalls that the first time he noticed Strickland commenting about Palestine was years ago. "Same thing: They were getting bombed, and he just commented on there when it had nothing to do with him because he likes to just put his nose into stuff and get attention. And he said something like, 'They need to just give up. They're going to end up losing anyway; they just need to bend the knee.' It was the stupidest statement ever."
Muhammad didn’t mince words about Strickland’s character, describing him as someone who makes a joke out of serious issues. "But he did it just to get attention, to get a comment out of myself. Somebody like that who's sitting there, laughing at people dying or making a joke out of it, it just shows what type of person he is. He's like a piece of trash."
Muhammad was particularly irked by Strickland's hypocrisy. "Recently, where he was crying on Theo Von about his dad and, 'You can't talk about my dad. Don't bring up family. That's dirty when you do it.' You're literally talking about kids that just got bombed, kids that are dying, and you're making a joke of it, but when it comes back to you, it shows he has a fake, tough-guy mentality."
- Upcoming Battle: Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) is set to run things back with welterweight champion Leon Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) in the UFC 304 main event on July 27 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.
