Recently, Belal Muhammad expressed his reaction to a terrible event that occurred in Palestine on X, which was formerly known as Twitter. Many fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have responded to the current military war between Israel and Palestine, which has caused the globe to be divided.
Throughout his career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Belal Muhammad, who is a welterweight fighter and hails from Palestine, has been an outspoken advocate for the Palestinian cause. He has expressed his disapproval of the Israeli armed forces and has shared a number of posts that highlight the alleged war crimes committed by those forces during the ongoing conflict.
Muhammad recently uploaded a gruesome video to X, which was formerly known as Twitter. The video appears to show an Israeli soldier shooting and killing a Palestinian youngster who is not believed to be responsible for the incident. In the beginning, the video was uploaded to the X account of Jake Shields, who had previously challenged for the UFC title. This was reposted by Muhammad, who wrote:
“Evil with a stone heart”

To a large extent, Belal Muhammad’s fellow combatants have adopted a position on the Israel-Palestine conflict that is comparable to his own. On the other hand, Sean Strickland, the current middleweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has launched a stinging attack against Muhammad and accused him of spreading war in an area that is thousands of miles away from the United States.
Belal Muhammad to serve as a back-up fighter for UFC 296 main event
At the UFC 296 pay-per-view event that is planned to take place on December 16, 2023, the reigning welterweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Leon Edwards, will give Colby Covington his second opportunity to defend his championship. Belal Muhammad has confirmed that he will weigh in as a backup fighter in the event that Edwards or Covington are forced to withdraw from the fight due to unforeseen circumstances. This confirmation was made during a recent interview with MMA Junkie.
It was just on Friday that they contacted me and asked if I would be willing to weigh in for the following weekend. I believe that they are aware of the fact that Colby and Leon are the two welterweights who are the least active in the division. Both of these gentlemen are not much of a fighter. They both have a strong running ability. Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, they decided to phone the guy who usually comes through for them.
Take a look at the video below (at 00:10):
Muhammad disclosed that he has been working out in order to maintain his physical fitness in the event that the opportunity presents itself. He is now rated third in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and ever since he defeat Gilbert Burns at UFC 288, he has been demanding a shot at the championship.
Ali Abdelaziz, Muhammad’s manager, recently stated in an interview with MMA Fighting that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has assured Muhammad that he will receive the next title shot.
