UFC 288 Twitter reacts to Belal Muhammads decision win over
See the top Twitter reactions to Belal Muhammad’s victory against Gilbert Burns in the UFC 288 co-main event.

Belal Muhammad established himself as an undeniable No. 1 welterweight contender on Saturday when he defeated Gilbert Burns in the short-notice UFC 288 co-headliner.

After both men agreed to the fight on 16 days’ notice, Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) earned arguably the biggest win of his career with a unanimous decision over Burns (22-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) in the high-stakes matchup at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Muhammad is now unbeaten in his past 10 fights at 170 pounds, and has a serious argument for the next title shot.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Muhammad’s victory over Burns at UFC 288.

Man Belal always comes with the game plan. Left kick this time. Circled into the shot against Luque. Stayed in a real low stance and 1-2’d Brady. He has a plan and he sticks to it, so smart#UFC288

Nolan King

50-45 Belal on my scorecard. Could be 49-46 if you give Gilbert the 4th.

Either way – technical domination by Belal Muhammad. Props.

I'll be interested to hear what happened with Burns' arm. #UFC288

Farah Hannoun

Time to give Belal Muhammad his credit. Three rounds or five, he was a man on a mission tonight. Pressure, volume, constant stance switches ???????? #UFC288

Mike Bohn

Not a thrilling fight here from Muhammad and Burns but not sure what people were expecting. They signed for this 16 days ago. Not proper prep for a bout of this magnitude. #UFC288

Today on ABC I picked Muhammad & Cejudo, half way there. Either way this fight should be intriguing. #UFC288
