Belal Muhammad announced his readiness to fight with Khamzat Chimaev at a tournament in London. According to Muhammad, if he is not given a title fight with Edwards, he is ready to fight with Khamzat.
“The only thing that really makes sense right now is my fight against Leon for the title. If I don't get a title fight, then you can put me against Chimaev at a tournament in London. I am ready to fight him at catchweight or maybe he will have other conditions. In our duel, the next contender for the title can be determined."
Recall that UFC 286 will be held in London on March 18. It is expected that it will be headed by the third fight between Edwards and Usman.
