Belal Muhammad obliterated Sean Strickland in a post-UFC 312 rant on his social media pages.

UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad didn’t let his longtime feud with Sean Strickland come to an end after Strickland’s latest defeat in the Octagon.

Strickland’s bid at revenge fell short against UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis in the UFC 312 main event on Saturday in Sydney. After their first fight last year was a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate, du Plessis dominated Strickland in their rematch, winning every element of their bout from start to finish.

While Strickland’s fans were disappointed in his performance at UFC 312, his detractors weren’t surprised about how the fight turned out. This includes Muhammad, who has gone back-and-forth with Strickland in the media for years.

Belal Muhammad eviscerates Sean Strickland in post-UFC 312 rant

In a recent post to X, Muhammad went on an explosive rant against Strickland after UFC 312.

“What did we learn yesterday? We learned that Bully is always right, I’ve been saying it forever, Sean sucks,” Muhammad said of Strickland. “He’s trash, talks a big game but he never walks. Even to the fans that sit there and hype them up like he’s the best boxer, best boxing defense…you go out there and you just throw jabs and teeps, and he fights like a scared little girl. Doesn’t want to 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 and he wants to yell, have that highlight reel, and people say ‘He’s crazy’…

“He’s not. He’s just a racist little clown who is hiding in the body of a fighter. Scared little boy hiding in a body of a fighter. Coward, and he shows it in his fights. And now, he’s going to come up with ‘Oh well I had staph…that’s why I wore sleeveless shirts at the press conference and have an excuse built up already’…he sucks, and finally we get to get rid of giving this guy undeserved title shots. That’s all I got for you.”

This is far from the first time that Muhammad has attacked Strickland on social media. Just days before UFC 312, Muhammad took a personal shot at Strickland that left many fans believing he crossed the line.

Strickland responded by going on an expletive-laden rant in a recent interview, telling Muhammad to ‘go back to f—— Palestine’. The two UFC stars briefly trained together earlier in their careers under famed coach Eric Nicksick.

Belal Muhammad wants to move up to middleweight to fight Sean Strickland

After winning the UFC welterweight title last July, Muhammad hinted at a future move to middleweight to clash with Strickland in the Octagon. Muhammad is expected to return to the cage later this year, likely against Shavkat Rakhmonov, who he was supposed to face in December before withdrawing due to a health issue.

Meanwhile, Strickland has now lost two of his last three fights after defeating Israel Adesanya for the middleweight championship at UFC 293. He could potentially face Adesanya in a rematch as both contenders look to remain in the division’s title picture.

There remains no love between Strickland and Muhammad after their recent banter, particularly after Strickland’s loss at UFC 312. It could be a matter of time until they settle their feud inside the cage.
