Belal Muhammad shares "weird" thing the New York athletic commission made his coach do

UFC welterweight contender Belal Muhammad recently shared a bizarre incident that involved the New York Athletic Commission and his coach. According to Muhammad, the commission made his coach do which he described as "weird."

Muhammad, aka 'Remember The Name', recently participated in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. During the session, someone asked him if he had any peculiar or unusual encounters with athletic commission officials. Muhammad responded that he had not experienced anything too outlandish, but he did find the New York commission's behavior to be rather peculiar.

Specifically, he mentioned that after his coach, Louis Taylor, completed a five-round title fight against Abusupiyan Magomedov in the PFL, the commission required Taylor to perform duck walks to ensure he was in good health. This was an unusual request, and it struck Muhammad as odd.

The 170-pounder revaled:

"Nothing crazy but the New York commission is very weird they made my coach Louis Taylor do duck walks after his five round title fight to make sure he was healthy."

Belal Muhammad proposes a simple solution to improve the UFC

Belal Muhammad recently suggested a simple solution to improve the UFC. He appears to believe that it wouldn't take much to make the organization even better than it currently is.

In the same Reddit AMA session, Belal Muhammad was asked about the changes he would like to see in the UFC while he is still competing. In response, Muhammad suggested that the UFC should no longer permit fighters to remain ranked if they refuse to fight.

'Remember The Name' believes that some fighters may be leveraging their rankings to avoid specific fights or opponents, which he sees as a significant issue that undermines the sport. Overall, Muhammad's suggestion is aimed at promoting greater competitiveness and integrity in the UFC.

The American native replied:

"Stop letting guys stay ranked if they refuse to fight."

Muhammad feels that by adopting this adjustment, the UFC will become a more competitive and entertaining atmosphere, with fighters encouraged to take on any opponent, regardless of their rank or perceived skill level.
