Top UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad and promotional middleweight champion Sean Strickland started a fight on social networks. Reason: worsening Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Muhammad decided to support Palestine and called for prayers for this country. Strickland did not like this, and this is what he replied:
“Instead of speaking out against terrorism and for a peaceful solution to the problem, you are saying this nonsense...ignoring what happened. Belal, you were born in America, you live in America, so just shut up.”
