Riding an impressive 11-fight winning streak, Belal Muhammad returns to defend his welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena this Saturday at UFC 315 in Canada. The reigning champ aims to extend his dominance by finishing the Aussie knockout artist on the sport’s biggest stage. With a stellar 93.3% takedown defense, it’s nearly impossible to drag ‘Remember The Name’ to the canvas, especially for wrestling-heavy opponents.
While these impressive statistics and his winning streak highlight his remarkable prowess inside the Octagon, many fans are curious about Muhammad’s personal life. What’s the story behind the fighter outside the cage? Let us delve deeper and discover more about the UFC welterweight champion’s relationships, family, and personal life.
Does Belal Muhammad have a wife/girlfriend?
Belal Muhammad prefers to keep his private life away from the spotlight that surrounds UFC stars. Consequently, there is no available information about a wife or girlfriend online. In 2023, rumors emerged suggesting that the UFC star was in a relationship with rapper/singer Doja Cat. However, these reports were never confirmed by either party, putting an end to the speculation about their alleged link-up.
As of now, there are no reports of Muhammad being married or in a relationship. It appears that ‘Remember the Name’ is solely focused on his goal of keeping his welterweight championship belt with him. Training out of the Chicago Fight Team, Muhammad has promised that he would take Jack Della Maddalena to deep waters.
While having a conversation with the media, ‘Remember the Name’ expressed, “For me, I don’t think this fight will go the distance. I’m going to dominate Jack, I’m going to beat him in the striking, I’m going to take him to the deep end of the ocean and drown him. I’m going to finish him, and I’m going to show the world I’m the best welterweight ever.”
While his focus in the cage is unmatched, what about Belal Muhammad’s life outside of fighting? The UFC star has previously revealed that one of the main motivations behind his continued success is the strength he draws from his family and his deep devotion to the sport of mixed martial arts!
