BIOGRAPHY

Belal Muhammad is an American mixed martial artist who currently fights in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 17, 1988 and attended Lane Tech High School. From there he went on to become an All-American wrestler at Harper College in Palatine, IL. After college Belal decided to pursue a career as a professional fighter and began training under renowned coach Pat Miletich at the Miletich Fighting Systems Academy.

In 2011 Belal made his professional debut with a submission win over Carlos Martinez in just 2 minutes and 10 seconds. His second fight was another quick finish; this time by TKO against Marcio Grimaldi also lasting just 2 minutes and 10 seconds. It became clear very early on that Belal had skills inside the cage and he quickly started to rise up through rankings of local promotions such as Hoosier Fight Club, Victory FC & RFA where he won multiple titles including Middleweight & Welterweight Champion before signing with UFC in 2016.

Once signed to UFC Muhammad continued his winning streak amassing a 13-3 record during his run so far which includes wins over Lyman Good, Tim Means & Randy Brown among others along with back-to-back Fight Night performances of the Night honors for his TKO victories against Takashi Sato & Curtis Millender respectively. He is now considered one of the top contenders within the Welterweight Division of UFC having fought only two losses since joining namely against Geoff Neal & Laureano Staropoli both by unanimous decision after three rounds each have been completed according to ruling regulations set out by athletic commissions involved or those overseeing such events like Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) etcetera upon which MMA bouts are held typically making sure fighters safety amongst other important matters come first when competing thusly alongside its counterparts such as boxing too due similar outcome sought for all competitors safety during any athletics competition no matter whichever particular sport being practiced relatedly anywhere worldwide nowadays meaning today’s sporting world not limited from this point onwards despite how much critics may disagree without continual research carried out accordingly via associated sports governing body support provided instead
