UFC Vegas 51 media day<\/a>. “He hasn\u2019t beat any top-five, real legitimate guys that are coming off wins. For me I\u2019m like, I want to fight the best guys. I want to stay active, I want to stay in there. We don\u2019t know when Kamaru is coming back, so maybe there\u2019s an interim title on the line this summer. That hand injury is a serious injury. If Leon needs an interim title opponent, I\u2019m there. Like I\u2019ve said, if I have to go through Khamzat, I\u2019m not afraid to go through these guys.”<\/p>\n![\"Belal](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Belal-Muhammad.png\")

As Belal Muhammad says, Colby Covington has called out Dustin Poirier as he wants that grudge match. Whether or not it happens is uncertain, but for ‘Remember The Name’ he’s disappointed with that due to the fact Chaos won’t defend his spot at number one. However, he doesn’t even think Chaos will fight again anytime soon after the alleged incident with Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n
“I think he\u2019s one of those guys who thinks he\u2019s owed something. He thinks he\u2019s a pay-per-view star, oh I\u2019m in the level of a Nate Diaz or a McGregor and I can pick and choose who I want. I think he\u2019s going to sit out for a year and play the injury game. Now that his tooth is chipped, he\u2019s probably going to be out for a couple of years until they give him a real 155er to fight,” Muhammad concluded.<\/p>\n
