– via MMA Junkie and Gym Media Day (January 16, 2026), responding to the persistent narrative that he is "ducking" the #1 contender, Arman Tsarukyan.

“It’s annoying that people are saying I’m ducking Arman, I’ve never been offered to fight Arman. If I were ever offered that fight, I would’ve punched his head in by now. He irritates me. I think he’s an absolute helmet. So yeah, I’d fight Arman in a heartbeat. If Ilia can’t fight until June or July, he should be stripped because he’s holding the division up. I’ll defend against Arman, Max, Charles, whoever. I don’t care”

– via pre fight media interaction in Las Vegas (January 15, 2026), addressing the #1 contender’s claims that he is being "protected" by the UFC.

“Nate Diaz... I don't even think he's that good. I'll go look at his record if you want me to. He has convinced people he’s good at fighting somehow, some way... He was average. His record is 21–13... That’s not that great... Within the UFC, he was 16–12. That's not very good... Please don’t post this clip because the Diaz Army will attack me. He has some fans who are rabid.”

– via youtube sparking a massive debate with Daniel Cormier over the Stockton legend's true skill level.

“This guy is just a big jumped up joke of a juice ed. Has no respect for the sport. Just quit Costa and keep doing ur secret juice gig cos it’s the only thing that works for u. Ur an absolute mon*******. Ur a bum. Ur a wh***. Quit please quit my brother. You are so so f****** s***. I think you may be the worst fighter to ever fight in the ufc ever. And ur title challenge was worse than mine and that’s saying something”

– via X (formerly Twitter), launching a scathing attack on Paulo Costa following the Brazilian's withdrawal from his UFC 326 bout against Brunno Ferreira

– via Boxing Social, expressing shock at the contract offers being distributed by Dana White’s new promotional venture, Zuffa Boxing

“Who do i think deserves it [title shot]? Who do i think has earned it? I think Michael Morales for sure has earned it. But we see the seeds planted. We see Islam planting the seeds of Usman being the next guy. Obviously, they have the same manager... Do i think Usman is an easier matchup for him? Of course. The guy fought one time in three years, and he's 1—3. I'm still ahead of you [Usman]. Even though i lost my last two fights, i'm still 2—2.”

– commenting on the welterweight title picture, arguing that Michael Morales is the fighter who has earned the title shot over Kamaru Usman, whose recent record of 1—3 is being overlooked due to his shared management with Islam Makhachev, who Muhammad believes views Usman as an easier opponent.

“You are delusional. I’d rather fight the guy who just whooped you than waste time on you kid. You can be my third option, big mouth.”

– via X responding to Joaquin Buckley , calling him "delusional" and dismissing him as a desirable opponent, stating he'd rather fight the man who defeated Buckley and relegating Buckley to his "third option".

– via ESPN MMA, calling out Glover Teixeira by referencing a supposed threat made by Teixeira and urging him to fight in the UFC instead of outside the cage.

“I think UFC just keeps using Arman to fill cards. And that's your fault. It's your responsibility to go out there and do something that fans want to see, that fans get excited about... The fans want to see something special, something unbelievable. They want to see excitement, blood, guts, and you have to give the customer what they want.”

– via MMA Junkie, suggesting that Arman Tsarukyan is to blame for being overlooked because he needs to adjust his style to be more exciting and entertaining for the fans.
