Belal Muhammad record: Was 'Remember the Name' unbeaten before joining the UFC?

Belal Muhammad currently has a professional MMA record of 22 wins, 3 losses and 1 no-contest.

Muhammad had a flawless record before joining the UFC in 2016, with 'Remember the Name' competing nine-times as a professional before facing Alan Jouban on his organizational debut.

Muhammad was competing in Titan FC, where he won three times against the likes of Steve Carl, Zane Kamaka and Keith Johnson. However, the 34-year-old also fought in Bellator and Hoosier Fight Club before joining Titan FC.

'Remember the Name' won the majority of his pre-UFC outings via decision, with only three of his bouts ending in stoppage. The 34-year-old managed to score TKO victories against Justin Brock, Jimmy Fritz and Steve Carl across multiple organizations.

However, as soon as Muhammad stepped foot in the UFC, his unbeaten run came to an end. Alan Jouban welcomed the 34-year-old to the organization by handing him a unanimous decision loss at UFC Fight Night 90: Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez in 2016. The debut defeat against Jouban was nothing to be ashamed of, with 'Brahma' a respected UFC fighter who only recently retired from the sport.

'Remember the Name' scored one of the biggest wins in his UFC career last time out, upon beating the undefeated Sean Brady at UFC 280 last weekend. Muhammad won via TKO in the second-round and is seemingly within touching distance of a title shot.

How has Belal Muhammad done since joining the UFC in 2016?

As mentioned, Belal Muhammad scored one of the biggest wins of his career at UFC 280 against Sean Brady. Brady was 15-0 upon facing Muhammad, but failed to make it out of the second round in Abu Dhabi. Since joining the organization, 'Remember the Name' has amassed a UFC record of 13 wins, 3 losses and 1 no-contest.

Only Alan Jouban, Vicente Luque and Geoff Neal have managed to get the better of the 34-year-old under the UFC banner. However, only Luque achieved a finish against Muhammad, with the Brazilian winning via knockout at UFC 205.

But at UFC on ESPN 34 this year, Belal Muhammad got his revenge against Luque and beat the Brazilian via unanimous decision after five rounds of fighting in the main event.

After his most recent victory against Sean Brady, Belal Muhammad called out Khamzat Chimaev and jokingly stated that he would be open to fighting the Chechen at '179.8lbs' if needed. Muhammad now sits ranked #5 in the UFC's welterweight division, so will likely have plenty of big fights in the near future.
