Summary
Belal Muhammad said Colby Covington has put legal and security measures in place ahead of Friday’s RAF 13 main event at Watco Center, claiming police would be present if any altercation breaks out.
Muhammad said the restrictions are meant to stop physical contact during fight week after a long-running feud and a heated press-conference confrontation following his July RAF win over Ben Askren.
The former UFC welterweight contenders never met in the octagon, but are now set to face on the RAF mats in a wrestling match rather than an MMA bout.
Muhammad framed Covington’s move as fear and said he would stay professional outside the event while trying to “smash him the right way” once the match begins.
