UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad reacted to Shavkat Rakhmonov's desire to have his next interim title fight at that weight.
"I see they're trying to work something out with Shawkat, but he's asking for an interim title - how is that even possible? Bro, I'm out for six weeks, not six months. It doesn't make sense, but if they want to do it to set up a main event, I don't care. I know who my next opponent will be."
As a reminder, Muhammad and Rakhmonov were scheduled to fight on December 7, but Belal pulled out of the fight due to injury.
