Belal Muhammad was puzzled why Colby Covington was chosen as the No. 1 contender after UFC 286 instead of him. Despite feeling upset, he found a silver lining by getting more support from MMA fans throughout the past days than his entire career combined. Can this good thing that happened to Belal give him any benefit in the long run?
This week on Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck is talking about Muhammad’s rise to success after Dana White’s decision. Also, if Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal wins against Gilbert Burns at UFC 287, he could give Muhammad something he wants. To answer some listeners’ questions about the greatest trilogies in MMA, the main event between Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen, current fighters’ Mount Rushmore, and more. Plus, how Benavidez vs Plant turned out.
