Additonally, 'Remember the Name' has also called out UFC top welterweight contender Colby Covington on several occasions.
In a recent interview with MMAJunkie, Belal Muhammad stated that he has been wanting to fight Covington for a long time. He also stated that he can compete with the two-time title challenger in terms of trash talk and fighting prowess.
"Yeah, honestly I would really want that fight. I have been calling out for that guy [Colby Covington] for like 10 years, before he became a title contender. Before he got ranked, I wanted to fight him just because stylistically I like that matchup. And then now I just want to fight him because I hate him. Like his trash talk and the stuff he says is so stupid. And he deserves to get slapped. I want to be the guy that does the slapping."
