Colby Covington is known for his outspoken and often controversial remarks. Recently, he has set his sights on Belal Muhammad, the newly crowned UFC welterweight champion. Covington, never one to mince words, has made bold claims about how a potential fight with Muhammad would unfold.
Covington, who has a history of provocative statements, referred to Muhammad as a “racist juice monkey” and confidently declared, “I will take his man card”. This inflammatory language is typical of Covington’s style, aimed at getting under the skin of his opponents and stirring up the MMA community.
Belal Muhammad, who recently secured the welterweight title with a dominant performance against Leon Edwards at UFC 304, has been on an impressive winning streak. Despite this, Covington remains unimpressed, suggesting that Muhammad’s success is due to steroid use and dismissing his abilities in the octagon.

Covington’s confidence in his ability to defeat Muhammad is unwavering. He believes that Muhammad has avoided calling him out in the past because he knows he would be outmatched. “If I cross paths with him, he won’t be champion anymore,” Covington asserted. He also criticized Muhammad’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, accusing him of being a thief and taking advantage of his fighters.
The potential matchup between Covington and Muhammad promises to be a highly anticipated and heated affair. Covington’s brash persona and Muhammad’s recent rise to the top of the welterweight division create a compelling narrative. Fans of the sport will undoubtedly be eager to see if Covington can back up his bold claims in the octagon.
As the MMA world waits to see if this fight will be booked, one thing is certain: the war of words between Covington and Muhammad is far from over. Whether or not Covington can “take his man card” remains to be seen, but the buildup to this potential clash is already generating significant buzz.
