Belal Muhammad

It was wild because I got to try to think back to it. And for me, at first, it was like, I told you so. I told you I could beat Leon. That was my mindset the whole time. I didn't want to even think about the belt. It was more so to be like, I beat Leon. You guys thought I was going to lose to him. I had to live with it for three years of everybody telling me I'm going to lose to this guy.
