Belal Muhammad has secured the No. 2 spot in the UFC’s welterweight division with an incredible journey, remaining undefeated since 2019. Currently, on a 10-fight winning streak, Muhammad stands as a formidable opponent for anyone in the 170 lbs. division. His relentless pressure and exceptional wrestling skills make him a formidable match-up. With a remarkable 93.3% take-down defense, it’s nearly impossible to take ‘Remember The Name’ off his feet, particularly for wrestling-based fighters.

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’s delve deeper and discover more about the UFC welterweight title contender’s relationships, family, and personal life.

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 becoming the UFC welterweight champion. Training out of ‘Chicago Fight Team,’ Muhammad has also enlisted the help of former UFC lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov for his upcoming title clash against Leon Edwards at UFC 304 on July 27.

In a recent interview with Shakiel Mahjouri, Muhammad revealed that training with ‘The Eagle’ is invaluable as he stated, “Training with him and getting advice from him is worth 20-30-40-50 days with anybody else. Just being able to feel his strength, feel his pressure, feel his knowledge too that he gives you.”

In an interview with MMA Junkie ahead of his UFC 242 clash against Takashi Sato in 2019, Muhammad confessed, “I would consider myself to be very family oriented with a lot of devotion and respect to the sport of MMA. My ultimate goal in my career is to take home the belt as the best welterweight champion in the world, inshallah.”
