LAS VEGAS – Belal Muhammad wants his name in the UFC welterweight title mix after earning the biggest win of his career. Muhammad (20-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) earned a dominant decision over Stephen Thompson (16-6-1 MMA, 11-6-1 UFC) in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 199 co-main event and thinks it’s time he was considered in the title conversation. Unbeaten in his past seven fights, Muhammad thinks his performance should leapfrog him over Leon Edwards for a shot at champion Kamaru Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC). “Who’s ever beaten ‘Wonderboy’ 30-26? Who’s ever beaten ‘Wonderboy’ in that style?” Muhammad told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at a post-fight news conference
