Muhammad has addressed Andrei
Arlovski’s insensitive comments about the death of Anthony
Johnson.
Arlovski has drawn backlash for his remarks about the late “Rumble”
Johnson in a recent interview. Arlovski lost to Johnson by
unanimous decision under the
World Series of Fighting banner in 2013 and he recently said he
believes he won that fight. The Belarusian then said that he won
anyway, as he is still alive and Johnson has passed away.
While Arlovski has since apologized, Muhammad says the incident
reflects the modern world.Why Belal Muhammad took issue with Andrei Arlovski’s Anthony
Johnson comments
Johnson died in 2022 at the age of 38. Following Arlovski’s
comments about the same, Muhammad claims the world has come to a
state where people no longer bother to hide their insensitive
thoughts. According to the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship champion, people are willing to
sacrifice humanity for attention on social media.
“It’s not just MMA,” Muhammad wrote on X. “It’s the world that’s
rotting there was a time when people hid[e] behind fake accounts to
say the stupid things they were too ashamed to say publicly. Now
the masks are off. The side of people they used to keep hidden
behind closed doors is out now. We live in a world where people are
so desperate for a viral moment that they don’t care whether the
attention is good or bad. Respect, decency, and basic humanity are
being sacrificed for clicks and views… the saddest thing is People
are starting to think this is normal.”It’s not just MMA. …It’s the
