Belal Muhammad didn’t mince his phrases when requested about Sean Strickland.
Strickland has commented on Palestine’s ongoing battle with Israel quite a few occasions, even taking goal at Muhammad, who’s of Palestinian descent.
Muhammad is irked by former middleweight champion Strickland’s tackle the matter, calling it a cry for consideration. Muhammad says he seen Strickland commenting about Palestine years in the past.
“Actually, I had no care about him in any respect till I posted one factor about Palestine and it was actually like three years in the past,” Muhammad stated on the Cash Loyalty Legacy podcast. “Identical factor: They had been getting bombed and he simply commented on there when it had nothing to do with him as a result of he likes to only put his nostril into stuff and get consideration. And he stated one thing like, ‘They should simply quit. They’re going to finish up shedding anyway, they simply have to bend the knee.’ It was the stupidest assertion ever.
“However he did it simply to get consideration, to get a remark out of myself. Any person like that who’s sitting there, laughing at folks dying or making a joke out of it, it simply exhibits what sort of individual he’s. He’s like a bit of trash.
“Lately the place he was crying on Theo Von about his dad and, ‘You’ll be able to’t discuss my dad. Don’t carry up household. That’s soiled while you do it.’ You’re actually speaking about children that simply obtained bombed, children which might be dying, and also you’re making a joke of it, however when it comes again to you, it exhibits he has a faux, tough-guy mentality.”
