Colby Covington recently shared his thoughts on Belal Muhammad's title win at UFC 304 and broke down a potential reason behind Leon Edwards' seemingly underperforming. 'Chaos' also opined that the UFC 304 main event was a dismal showing and didn't provide any entertainment for the fans.

Muhammad and Edwards went up against each other in a welterweight title fight at UFC 304 in Manchester last weekend. After five rounds of action, Muhammad emerged victorious and took home the 170-pound strap. In the aftermath, some were vocal about 'Remember The Name' using a grappling-heavy style and criticized the main event as a monotonous affair.

During a recent interview with Submission Radio, Covington was asked for his thoughts on Muhammad's title win. The wrestling savant sounded off on Muhammad in a vicious profanity-laced tirade and said:

"I can tell you who lost and that's the fans... Belal, the racist juice monkey, won? Now that he finally made his first cheque off the prelims he can finally fix that d*ldo on his face or maybe get his teeth fixed. Those things are nasty and rotten. That's only if Ali [Abdelaziz] doesn't take his money because we know his sc*mbag manager is a thief."

Weighing in on Edwards' seemingly underwhelming performance, Covington theorized that the Englishman had made too much money and said:

"I know that Leon made so much money in his last fight with me that I don't think he's hungry anymore. I think he's lost his motivation. He has nothing more to fight for... He's achieved everything that he set out to do... He's a quitter, he's shown that in the past. You can tell he just doesn't have the hunger anymore."

Colby Covington on surging UFC welterweight contender Shavkat Rakhmonov

In the same interview, Colby Covington shared his thoughts on the mercurial Shavkat Rakhmonov and claimed that the Uzbekistan-born Kazakh fighter didn't impress him with his record. 'Chaos' didn't think he was "special" and pointed out some of Rakhmonov's weaknesses.

Speaking to Submission Radio, Covington opined that Rakhmonov's record was padded with wins over "jabronis" and said:

"I don't think anything special of 'Sh*trat', I think he fights very tall. Very high up, chin up in the air. He almost got knocked out by the busboy from Outback that's serving blooming onions Geoff Neal. He got exposed that fight... He's finished a lot of nobodies, a lot of jabronis from amateur Indian casinos. He hasn't fought top contenders yet." [6:51 mark]
