Belal Muhammad, the UFC welterweight champion, engaged with young fighters at Guardian Jiu-Jitsu during UFC 311 fight week, embodying his role as an ambassador for the sport. He expressed deep satisfaction in connecting with fans, highlighting his own experiences and lack of mentorship as a youth. Looking ahead, he shared his eagerness to return to the Octagon following a recovery from an infection that sidelined him from a fight. Muhammad sees multiple potential challengers in the welterweight division and aims for an active schedule to defend his title.
It's amazing. Any time I get to see a kid smile or leave them with an impression...I know what it is to be a fan.
I'm excited to get back to training...I want to stay active...then look for the next date, look for the next victim.
