Alright, listen up! Got some news for ya about the welterweight scene. These fellas, they’re tough, right? Welterweight fights always bring out the real grit. You got names like Kamaru Usman and Belal Muhammad up there, punching and kicking for titles. Now, there’s been some real heat lately, and I’ll tell you all about it.
First things first – let’s talk about this Carlos Prates guy. Just recently, he came in like a thunderstorm and knocked out Neil Magny at UFC Vegas 100. That’s no joke! Folks are sayin’ “welterweights, beware!” ‘Cause Prates showed he’s not someone to mess around with. When a fighter can take down someone like Magny, well, you know the fella’s got power.
And how about Usman, huh? Now, Usman had a fight with Khamzat Chimaev back in October 2023. That fight ended in a loss for Usman, which was a big shock to a lot of folks. Unanimous decision – judges all agreed on it. Now, Usman’s fans are hoping he’ll make a comeback, but some are thinkin’ maybe Chimaev is the future of the division. Only time will tell, right?
Now let’s talk boxing, too, ‘cause welterweight isn’t just for MMA, ya know? We got Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr., two names that’ve been lighting up the boxing scene. Crawford recently took down Spence with some serious punches. Knocked him down not once, not twice, but three times in one fight! Ended it in the ninth round with a technical knockout. Folks are sayin’ it was just like that legendary fight back in ’81 with Thomas Hearns. They call this kind of fight a classic, somethin’ to remember for years!
And what’s new with Belal Muhammad? Oh, he’s another one makin’ waves in welterweight. Not too long ago, he went up against Leon Edwards and won with a unanimous decision at UFC 304. Muhammad didn’t just win; he practically controlled the fight. Took Edwards down, showed everyone he’s not one to be overlooked.
But Crawford, that fella, he ain’t done yet. Just recently, he had another big win, this time against Israil Madrimov. Another unanimous decision in Crawford’s favor. Everyone’s lookin’ at him now, thinkin’ he might be the best pound-for-pound boxer around. No one’s taken him down yet, so he’s sittin’ on top like the king of the welterweights in the boxing world.
So, who’s the next big name in welterweight? Well, that’s the thing – you never know. These fighters are tough, and one fight can change it all. Maybe it’ll be someone new, like Prates, comin’ up through the ranks. Or maybe Usman makes his comeback. Either way, the welterweight division’s got some real excitement, and these fellas are ready to go at it for those big wins.
Keep an eye out, ’cause the next big welterweight fight could be a game-changer!
