After beating Sean Brady at UFC 280 last weekend, Belal Muhammad climbed to #4 in the UFC's welterweight division. The 34-year-old leapfrogged Gilbert Burns in the 170lbs division, moving up from No.5 in the rankings.
'Remember the Name' managed to TKO Brady in the second round in Abu Dhabi. This was his first stoppage victory since beating Takashi Sato via submission at UFC 242 in 2019. Muhammad has only won three times via stoppage since joining the organization in 2016, stopping Augusto Montano, Sato and Brady.
Belal Muhammad will likely compete in a big event given his welterweight ranking, and called out Khamzat Chimaev after his UFC 280 victory against Sean Brady.

"After watching the first episode of the new season of the game of thrones it’s crazy but I’ve come to the realization that Conor mcgregor has one win in 7 years."
