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.

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

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

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

Teddy Atlas

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