Joaquin Buckley warns UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad against a middleweight move. Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) called UFC 185-pound champ Dricus Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) his easiest path to double-champ status . He even detailed how he’d beat Du Plessis by wearing him out and repeatedly taking him down. Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC), who’s on a six-fight winning streak, sees Du Plessis as a bad matchup for Muhammad. He explained that the power is different at 185 pounds, which was a big reason why he opted to drop back down to welterweight.
