Belal Muhammad, known by his moniker "Remember The Name," is a renowned mixed martial artist who fights in the welterweight division (170 lbs) of the UFC. Muhammad was born in Chicago, Illinois, on July 9, 1988. He has built a reputation around his good grappling skills and high fight IQ. Muhammad began competing professionally in mixed martial arts in 2012 and started his career with some early victories in regional promotions like Titan FC, where he eventually won the welterweight championship. He made his debut with the UFC on 7 July 2016 at UFC Fight Night 90, and even though he had a rocky start with a debut loss to Alan Jouban by a unanimous decision, Muhammad quickly made himself a dangerous fighter in the welterweight division who as of July 2024, is riding a 10-fight winning streak.
Major victories in his career with the UFC have come against opponents like Demian Maia, Stephen Thompson, Vicente Luque, and Gilbert Burns. His win over Sean Brady by TKO at UFC 280 was particularly noteworthy, earning him a Performance of the Night bonus. As of 2024, Muhammad holds a professional record of 23 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no contest. Muhammad is now gearing up for his rematch against Leon Edwards, at UFC 304 on July 27, 2024, for the welterweight strap. Their first fight was a no-contest because of an accidental eye poke in the bout.
