‘Remember the Name’ Belal Muhammad just wants a fight in the octagon, but the top-ranked welterweight is struggling to find an opponent. Former title contender Colby Covington has been offered this match and declined on multiple occasions.
Belal Muhammad spoke in an interview with Helen Yee Sports, and explained:
“I’m in a rough spot right now … the only guys above me are Khamzat [Chimaev] who’s moving up to middleweight, and then Colby who doesn’t want to fight. So when I’m looking at it, there’s nobody else in line for the title but me … All they [the UFC] presented was Colby. They said Colby was down, then the next week they said Colby wasn’t down. And then they said he was down again. Then they said they can’t find him again, so I don’t know what’s happening with him.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA News]
See the full interview below:
It would be a battle of top-five ranked welterweights if Belal Muhammad and Colby Covington were to meet in the UFC. Neither fighter has an upcoming fight booked and ‘Remember the Name’ is getting tired of waiting.
Since 2020, Muhammad has gone 6-0 in the UFC with 1 No Contest against the now-champion Leon Edwards. He has notable wins over Sean Brady, Vicente Luque, Stephen Thompson, and Demian Maia. He is on track for a shot at the throne but is stuck waiting.
Chaos’ Colby Covington, former interim champion, has been quiet since his last win over Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal assaulted Covington after the fight outside of a restaurant and now the two MMA fighters are engaged in a battle of litigation.

Australia’s Dan Hooker has withdrawn from his UFC 285 fight against ‘The Tarantula’ Jalin Turner, the US-born fighter will instead face ‘Gamer’ Mateusz Gamrot.
‘The Hangman’ Dan Hooker, who is just coming off of a TKO win over Claudio Puelles, was forced to pull out of the March 4 lightweight matchup due to suffering a broken hand in training. On Twitter, the Australian athlete shared:
“Well f*ck.”
No. 10 ranked Jalin Turner will instead find himself in a lightweight feature fight against Poland’s Mateusz Gamrot on March 4.
Mateusz Gamrot is a dangerous and highly-skilled fighter who is currently ranked at the number 7 position in the UFC’s lightweight division. The 32-year-old athlete has earned impressive wins over fighters such as Arman Tsarukyan, Diego Ferreira, and Jeremy Stephens, among others.
Gamrot is a step up in competition for the 27-year-old ‘The Tarantula’ Jalin Turner. The US-born fighter is currently on a five-fight wins streak with notable wins over Brad Riddell, Jamie Mullarkey, Uros Medic, and Brok Weaver.
Jalin Turner and ‘Gamer’ will be competing for a spot in the competitive UFC lightweight division. Ranked ahead of these two athletes are fighters such as Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, Beneil Dariush, Michael Chandler, and Rafael Fiziev. Meanwhile, the division champion Islam Makhachev will soon be seeking a new contender to challenge for the UFC lightweight crown.
When the news of the fight broke, the American Top Team trained fighter Mateusz Gamrot shared on Instagram:
“That is what happens when you chase greatness!”

The Ultimate Fighting Championship continues to give us exciting new match bookings week by week, and this one is no different, as The Ultimate Fighter 7 contestant Matt Brown is slated to face The Ultimate Fighter 11 winner Court McGee at UFC Fight Night 225.
UFC Fight Night 225 is to go down on May 13, 2023, live from a to-be-determined venue and location.
As it currently sits, UFC Fight Night 225 has three bouts scheduled thus far.
The first of these match ups was announced about a week ago, a light-heavyweight affair between no. 5 ranked Anthony Smith and no. 7 ranked Johnny Walker. Then the UFC recently added a women’s bantamweight clash between Jessica-Rose Clark and Tainara Lisboa, and now of course Brown versus McGee at 170 lbs.
Matt Brown went 2-1 on his season of The Ultimate Fighter, securing both victories via knockout and only losing to eventual season champion Amir Sadollah, while McGee went 3-1 on the show with two submission victories en route to winning his season.
Both of these men have had a bit of a rocky road along the way, but both have also had incredible success through their careers.
Matt Brown defeated eventual multi-time Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima (TKO) before even joining the UFC roster.
Since joining the UFC roster, he became the first man to ever defeat Stephen Thompson (UD), who went on to fight for a UFC championship not once, but twice following, and he also boasts wins over the likes of Mike Swick (KO), Mike Pyle (KO), Erick Silva (TKO), Tim Means (guillotine choke), Diego Sanchez (KO), and Dhiego Lima (KO), which made him 2-0 against the Lima brothers with both victories coming via knockout.
Then we have Court McGee, who came to the UFC with a record of 11-1, only losing to UFC veteran Jeremy Horn in that time.
McGee initially went 5-2 through his first seven octagon appearances, one of those wins coming over future UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker (SD), and one coming over longtime veteran Josh Neer (UD). He also defeated Claudio Silva (UD) recently, who was 5-1 in the UFC at the time of their encounter, and he’s gone 2-1 over his last three.
