Belal Muhammad joins the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer to help breakdown everything that unfolded at UFC 278 including Leon Edwards’ stunning comeback victory to beat Kamaru Usman and become welterweight champion.
Muhammad will give his thoughts on Edwards’ performance as well as the set up that led to the head kick knockout to finish Usman in the main event.
With his own fight scheduled at UFC 280, Muhammad also addresses the messy situation at 170 pounds now that Edwards is champion and how that might delay his own hopes for a title shot.
Will Edwards face Usman again for a third time or could he convince the UFC to give him the fight against Jorge Masvidal instead?
Finally, Muhammad will address Conor McGregor and Jake Paul after they both mocked Usman following his devastating knockout loss.
All this and more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer.

On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to Volkanovski's involvement in the 155-pound title situation for the UFC's highly anticipated pay-per-view event, and where that puts him in the overall landscape should his services not be needed. Additionally, listener questions include refereeing in MMA and what needs to change in regards to fence grabs, and penalizing fighters in general for clear fouls, rising talent, the UFC rankings structure, if Khabib Nurmagomedov could come back to competition, and much more.

As everybody in the MMA community is likely aware of by now, Thursday's UFC 279 press conference was abruptly cancelled after chaos broke out backstage in Las Vegas. Both Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz were allegedly involved — along with Kevin Holland — but does that change the way you look at Saturday's main event between Chimaev and Diaz?
On an all-new Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck responds to questions about whether or not Chimaev may be a bit too emotional heading into the UFC 279 headliner, and if Diaz will be able to capitalize on that. Additionally, listener questions include Holland's future, and the stakes involved in the welterweight division for the winner of his fight with Daniel Rodriguez, reactions to the alleged altercations backstage, who Chimaev could face — at either 170 or 185 — next with a win over Diaz, Francis Ngannou and the heavyweight division, and more.
You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
