Belal Muhammad seems to be hyped up after his amazing victory over Stephen Thompson. Many currently consider this victory as his biggest achievement in his pro-MMA career. Following the victory, he jumped 5 ranks in the UFC welterweight rankings, making him the No.5 ranked welterweight in the organization.
Consequently, ‘Remember The Name’ has been looking for his next matchup and also a ‘sponsorship’. The 33-year-old has his eyes set on getting sponsorship from luxury watchmaker company; Rolex. The British-founded Swiss watch designer has been a status symbol of affluence since 1915.

Athletes like golf legend Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and Phil Mickelson are a few names on their sponsored list. In addition to this, Rolex has a deep-rooted role in many sports. This might have attracted Belal to share a funny screen recording of his DMs with the official Rolex page on Instagram.
He also shared a video saying, “Yo, Rollie, Rolex. It’s your old boy ‘Bully B’ here. I’ve been hitting you up. No response yet, but I don’t know if you saw. Your boy is No. 5 in the world now. So, you know what that means. My wrist needs a little bit of ice. Just wanted to see if you wanted to throw a sponsorship this way.”
