UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad has criticized Sean Strickland's display at UFC 312, and said his time as a middleweight contender should now be over.

UFC 170-pound champion Belal Muhammad is no fan of Sean Strickland, and he pulled no punches in his assessment of Strickland's performance at UFC 312.

UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad knows what it’s like to go through a training camp during Ramadan. Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) most recently trained through Ramadan for a fight when he took on Gilbert Burns at UFC 288 in May 2023. He won the five-round fight by unanimous decision to become No. 1 contender.
