Israeli UFC Fighter Challenges American Opponent Over Anti-Israel Remarks
American-Indonesian UFC fighter Belal Muhammad recently stated he would prefer to fight Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if given the chance. This comment has drawn a response from Israeli MMA fighter Moshe Eldadi, who holds the CFFC championship belt.
Eldadi publicly challenged Muhammad to a fight, posting on social media, "He is too busy defeating Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, but I am here to fight. I am interested in a fight, let's make it happen this December." Eldadi also tagged Muhammad in his post.
In a recent interview with Sport Channel, Eldadi elaborated on his challenge, suggesting that many individuals seek quick fame by adopting anti-Israel stances. He stated, "We constantly see people who want to get famous quickly, and the easiest way today is to be anti-Israel." Eldadi added, "At least in our sport, they can get punched in the face for these words. I hope it happens. You want to talk dirty? No problem, back up your words. I am here to fight."
Eldadi, who won his championship belt several months ago, expressed his willingness to confront Muhammad in the octagon, implying that such a fight could serve as a direct response to Muhammad's controversial statements.
