Belal Muhammad wants to be an active champion. Subsequently, with a dominant performance at the UFC 304 pay-per-view (PPV) headliner, he now has the playing field. Since toppling Leon Edwards in the Manchester card, he has doubled down on being more active than โRocky.โ To that end, he takes the war to one of his predecessors โ Kamaru Usman.
Muhammad has endured much hostility and doubt on his way to the top. Since dethroning Edwards, heโs not mincing words. The new champion has been striking up unlikely rivalries anywhere he could. He struck one up when Kamaru Usman called dibs on his first title defense. Now, Muhammad released a clip of an AI track created to beat Usman, targeting his wobbly glass knees, three-fight losing streak, and insecurity.
Kamaruโs in the locker room, lacing up his worn-out gloves, …Thinking about that golden belt and all his dreams of love. Heโs lost three fights in a row, his knees are giving in. Leon dropped him with a headshot, left him wondering when. Belalโs up there champinโ at the bit, ready for a fight, but Kamaru feels the aches and pains deep into the night. Heโs got the heart of a lion, but his bodyโs just a shell. In the Octagon of memories, heโs caught in his own hell

Ever since UFC 304, Belal Muhammad has been vocal about being active and taking on all corners. He has two real options for a potential December return: rising contender Shavkat Rakhmonov and former champion Usman. Muhammad has said he would be happy to fight any of them. But Usman has taken on โThe Bullyโ Muhammad and traded barbs. Listen to the diss track below.
While itโs a weirdly silly promotion, it keeps Muhammad and Usman long enough in the running against each other. Some find it funny, but thereโs a broader question circling the MMA base. Why is Muhammad keen on a fighter on a 0-3 streak? Is he afraid of the undefeated Kazakh fighter? As such, the matter has gone quite viral.
Fight fans react to Belal Muhammadโs AI-generated diss track
Muhammadโs goals donโt stop just at being a champion. The road so far has been hard for the Palestinian-American. The 36-year-old has been the underdog in most of his recent bouts. He is determined to leave a legacy that cannot be denied. Not since those like Edwards, Colby Covington, and Sean Strickland have dubbed down his struggles as fake.

With many interpersonal issues going wrong for far too long, this diss seems to be a build-up in the right direction. Many fans have liked it as such. Consequently, a prominent reaction (@lolo80639418) quipped, โBelal did you take any culinary lessons because boy youโre cooking him good.โ
Some have tried alluding that after UFC 304, Belal Muhammad might be trying to avoid Rakhmonov. The Kazakh phenom is undefeated in MMA, finishing every one of the six men heโs faced since joining the UFC in 2020. However, others fully support him, already instigating a rivalry in the right way. As such, this build-up could be one for ages.
