Belal Muhammad reacts to "racist clown" Sean Strickland's loss to Dricus du Plessis:

"He wants people to say that 'he's crazy, he's nuts'. He's not. He's just a racist little clown that's hiding in the body of a fighter. He's a coward."

Belal Muhammad has no sympathy for Sean Strickland after his loss against Dricus Du Plessis.

Strickland tried to reclaim the middleweight title in a rematch against Du Plessis at UFC 312 in Sydney this past weekend. While Strickland lost his title via split decision in their initial encounter, he suffered a lopsided unanimous decision loss in their rematch at UFC 312.

Known for expressing his unhinged opinions, Strickland was already beefing with Muhammad over Islamophobic comments. The welterweight champ repeatedly called Strickland undeserving of a rematch against Du Plessis. And Muhammad didn’t go easy after Strickland’s loss to the South African.

According to Muhammad, Strickland fights like a “scared little girl” who has never managed to back up his big words with action.

“I’ve been saying it since forever, Sean sucks, he’s trash,” Muhammad said on Instagram. “Talks big game but he’s never walked. Not even to the fans that sit there and hype him up, like, ‘You’re the best boxer, you have the best boxing defense this and that. He’s gonna go to war, he’s gonna kill.’ [Strickland saying], ‘I would bleed for my fans, I would die for my fans, blah blah.’ But you go out there and he just jabs and teeps and he fights like a scared little girl. He doesn’t wanna get hit. Even when you’re down four rounds, he doesn’t go all out. He doesn’t have it in him unless there’s five seconds left in the fight. Wants people to say that he’s crazy, he’s nuts. He’s not. He’s just a racist little clown that’s hiding in a body of a fighter. He’s a coward.”

Leading up to UFC 312, Strickland had a visible spot on his bicep resembling a staph infection. Muhammad believes Strickland intentionally exposed the spot to fans so that he can have an excuse ready in case of defeat.

“And now he’s gonna come up with, ‘Oh man but I had staph. Let me tell you something guys, I get paid a lot of money but I had staph. But I was gonna still fight for you guys because I had to put a show on for my fans. And then I broke my nose so that messed up my whole fight even though I lost first three rounds just like jabbing one time every five minutes. That’s why I wore sleeveless shirts at the press conference so that people can see it and I have that excuse built up already,’” Muhammad said. “… He sucks and finally we can get rid of giving this guy undeserved title shots.”
