“Dana White has decided not to give Belal a title fight” – Steve Arseg’s UFC 301 result divides fans and shakes up the MMA world

U͏FC 301 is looking forward to next weekend, and Alexandre Pantoja will look to defend his flyweight title again against newcomer Steve Erceg. Consider that there are too many contestants in the flyweight division. Although most of the predictions for the fight were off, Dana White surprised everyone by giving Astraoboy a chance to compete in the Gold Run. White's decision to give Erceg a title shot raised suspicions among fans about the method the UFC CEO used to select candidates.

If you think about it calmly, Steve Arseg has never wanted a title fight. Additionally, the Australian has only three fights under his belt in the UFC. Giving him a title run is not good for UFC fans. Why do you ask? Because one man has been in the UFC since 2016 and has been seeking a title shot for years. Belal Muhammad has been demanding a title shot for a long time, but there has been little response from the UFC to his demands.

Muhammad is on a nine-fight win streak under the promotion, but some in the MMA community say there is no one more deserving of a title fight. Another interesting statistic: Erceg made his UFC debut just a month after Muhammad's last fight against Gilbert Burns.

There was talk that Muhammad might get a title shot at UFC Manchester vs. Leon Edwards, but nothing has been confirmed yet and there's a good chance Dana White won't let that happen. The welterweight fighter's unfortunate condition caught the attention of the MMA community, which had mixed reactions to Belal Muhammad.

Fans are divided as Belar Muhammad could miss out on another title shot

The last time Belal Muhammad and Leon Edwards faced off, the match had to be stopped because Edwards accidentally poked Muhammad in the eye. Their fight ended in a no contest, and Muhammad has since called out Edwards for a fight. After years of waiting, Team Edwards has finally come forward and said their fight is 99.99% decided and scheduled to take place at UFC Manchester, but UFC insider Chel Sonnen has scoffed at this claim, saying that He said he had some questions.

Therefore, Belal Muhammad's unique condition caught the attention of UFC fans. Fan reactions are below.

First, fans supported that it was time for the UFC to give Muhammad a title shot, and as mentioned above, for good reason.

“Please hand over the title to Belal and move on. It makes me sad.”

Steve Arseg, Colby Covington, and many other fighters got title opportunities regardless of weight class long before Muhammad, and fans understand that the UFC's disdain for fighters has now gotten out of hand. There is.

“I'm not a big fan of Belar, but what they're doing to him is terrible.”

Despite this, some fans say Muhammad has not been given a shot at the title because of his fighting style, which always ends in unanimous decisions. Erceg's last fight was a knockout win for him, while Muhammad struggled against Gilbert Burns, who broke his hand.

“Erceg puts opponents to sleep, Belal puts UFC fans to sleep.”

“13 of Beral's 18 fights ended in decisions. His style does not advance the sport.”

Team Edwards claimed that Belal Muhammad will get a chance to win the title soon, but did not mention a date, and one fan says Belal Muhammad is close to winning the title.

“Belal will be gunning for the title, but Leon will be gunning for the title for as long as possible, so why hasn’t he fought yet?”

However, the welterweight fighter's dreams may have been dashed after one fan claimed that Dana White had decided to keep Muhammad away from the title.

“Breaking News: Dana White has decided not to give Belal a title fight.”

Belal Muhammad should get at least one chance to win the title, fans claim. What do you think about this whole ordeal? Who would you bet on at UFC 301? Share with us in the comments below!
