Belal Muhammad, a fighter who endured a long and winding road is finally the UFC<\/a> welterweight champion. For years, many fans overlooked him despite his growing win streak. They called his fighting style boring. They said he would never beat Leon Edwards. But Muhammad silenced all doubters last year when he outworked and outclassed Edwards at UFC 304, capturing the welterweight crown in a performance that forced the fighting world to finally give him his flowers.<\/p>

Now, the Chicago native stands tall as champion after going undefeated in his last ten fights (including 1 NC). His journey wasn’t easy. But he kept winning fights and kept climbing the rankings. And finally, when the rematch with Edwards materialized, he seized the moment in spectacular fashion!<\/p>

Bold Boxing Claims Against Deadly Striker<\/h2>

Muhammad’s first title defense comes against a dangerous challenge in Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315 on May 10 in Montreal. The Australian striker wasn’t the original opponent. Shavkat Rakhmonov was slated for the title shot before an injury forced him out. Now, Maddalena brings his perfect 7-0 UFC record and feared boxing skills into the championship spotlight. But Muhammad isn’t intimidated by his opponent’s striking reputation. In fact, he’s making a surprising claim about his gameplan.<\/p>

‘‘I’m gonna outbox Jack. I’m not gonna shoot one takedown, and I’m gonna show him the meaning of Canelo hands. <\/strong><\/em>Gonna show the UFC fighters and the fans that I’m the best boxer in the UFC, in the welterweight division. Trust me, you guys wanna tune in, don’t miss it.,’ <\/strong><\/em>said Muhammad via The Coach and the Casual.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
