Henry Sehudo unveils the specifics of the brawl involving Kamara Usman and Belal Muhammad
Controversial Podcast Recording Sources Heated Scuffle Between Kamaru Usman and Belal Muhammad
Former UFC champion Henry Cejudo offers insider details on an unreleased episode of the "Pound 4 Pound" podcast, co-hosted with Kamaru Usman, which abruptly ended due to a physical altercation between the two athletes.
During the recording with Belal Muhammad as a guest, the tension between Usman and Muhammad, already lingering, worsened when heated words were exchanged, according to Cejudo, who attempted to mediate the situation. The incident occurred during a scheduled recording meant to promote Muhammad's upcoming title defense at UFC 315.
Usman reportedly said, "It's on sight," to which Muhammad responded in kind, escalating the verbal sparring. The exchange led to a physical confrontation, with both men standing up and engaging in a scuffle. Cejudo, who was present as host and attempted to intervene despite a sprained ankle, described the production crew's involvement in separating the fighters. He shared that punches and slaps were exchanged before the situation was brought under control.
As a result, the episode was cut short, and no footage has been released to the public. However, Cejudo hinted that fans may soon see the incident when it is deemed appropriate for release.
The altercation has significantly intensified the rivalry between Usman and Muhammad, who have a history of public criticism and clashes over competitive issues in the UFC welterweight division.
Kamaru Usman will return to the octagon for the first time in two years on June 15 in Atlanta, facing Joaquin Buckley. Belal Muhammad, on the other hand, recently lost his title to Jack Della Maddalena.
With the unreleased status of the podcast episode and the intense rivalry it has exacerbated, the likelihood of a grudge match between the two fighters has heightened. If footage is released before a potential fight, it could build substantial anticipation.
Bookmakers may find the heated scuffle between Kamaru Usman and Belal Muhammad during a podcast recording intriguing as it could impact their predictions for future sports events in the UFC welterweight division. The altercation has not only intensified the rivalry between the two athletes but also added a personal dimension to their competitive clashes.
