Chimaev isn’t hesitating to kick Belal
Muhammad while he is down.
Muhammad and Chimaev have had a rivalry brewing for a while,
although they belong to different weight classes. Muhammad even
recently teased a move up to middleweight to fight
Chimaev.
Muhammad lost his welterweight title against Australia’s Jack
Della Maddalena at UFC 315 last weekend in Canada. While it was
one of Muhammad’s most entertaining performances, “Remember the
Name” didn’t display any of his elite grappling. Chimaev mocked
Muhammad on the loss and posted a now-deleted picture from the
fight saying, “He’s crying again.” Both devout Muslims, Muhammad
and Chimaev have openly voiced their support for Palestine in the
ongoing conflict with Israel. A fan requested that Chimaev avoid
beefing with Muhammad and maintain the Muslim brotherhood.
“Salam Alaikum brother,” the fan wrote. “I know sometimes you guys
might not like each other, but us Muslim fans do not appreciate
when you guys throw jabs at one another. You guys both raised
awareness about the situation in Palestine. Peace and love to both
you brothers.”

However, Chimaev called Muhammad “fake” for trying to fight him
after calling him a brother. While Chimaev stands in support of
Palestine, he doesn’t have any reason to be nice to “Remember the
Name.”
“Yes, he call me Muslim brother then he go saying he wants to beat
me so should I be nice to you? I like real people not fake if
you call my brother you should be my brother,” Chimaev wrote. “I
always support Palestine but I never support fake
people.”

Undefeated in eight UFC outings with six finishes, Chimaev is
expected to get the next middleweight title shot. Meanwhile,
Muhammad’s immediate future remains uncertain as he is unlikely to
get a rematch against Maddalena, with several others waiting in
line.
