Belal Muhammad, former UFC champion in the welterweight division, addressed the middleweight champion of the promotion Dricus du Plessis before his fight against Khamzat Chimaev.

“Brother, this is my city. If you need anything in Chicago — food, some groceries, therapists, a cage, a gym, a sauna... just don’t call me. You are not welcome here. Chicago, if you see him, let him know that he is not welcome here,” Muhammad said.
