Belal Muhammad is claiming superiority over Kamaru Usman after defeating Leon Edwards to become the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion.

Muhammad posted a tweet stating, "lol I did what u couldn’t do.. I finished the job I’ll send you bully’s blueprint pdf.. just enter your email and credit card information."

This jab was apparently aimed at former UFC champion Usman, who had predicted Muhammad's loss before the fight.

Following the victory, a video was also posted in social media where Muhammad was standing alongside Islam Makachev and was apparently struggling to hold the belt.

Responding to the video, Usman suggested Belal needed Islam Makachev to teach him how to hold a belt.

The Illinois native responded by saying Makhachev was teaching him how to "clean your fingerprints off" the welterweight belt, in another apparent jibe at Usman’s former reign as champion.

Despite Usman's lack of wins in recent years, the former welterweight champion remains a formidable force in the division.

Although his title prospects may be uncertain, Usman still has some fights left and intends to challenge for the championship again.
