Becoming a UFC champion comes with many perks, from fame and money to other major opportunities. It looks like Belal Muhammad is enjoying the perks of being a champion. The same UFC fighter who used to get a lot of hate is now being celebrated as a superstar, all because he landed a Young LA ad alongside fellow fighter Cody Garbrandt.
Belal Muhammad and Cody Garbrandt recently teamed up for a YoungLA fitness clothing ad. The commercial starts with both UFC fighters, suited up in the brand’s gear, getting a pep talk from their coaches in a serious pre-fight setting. But the mood quickly shifts when, instead of fighting, they end up playing ping-pong, adding a humorous twist to the scene. After the ad went viral online, fans began praising “Remember the Name” as a major superstar. Here’s how they reacted.

Belal Muhammad Set To Defend His UFC Title Against Shavkat Rakhmonov
The UFC Welterweight champion is set to make his first title defense at the last pay-per-view of the year. On December 10 at UFC 310, he will face Shavkat Rakhmonov, an undefeated fighter who holds the No. 3 ranking.
This matchup is bound to attract attention, as Belal Muhammad has his share of fans but still faces significant criticism. Given the fact that the current UFC welterweight champion tends to win by decision and lacks many finishes in his record. In contrast, Rakhmonov has finished all 18 of his opponents, showcasing his finishing ability.
It will be interesting to see if Muhammad can achieve victory, particularly since he’s training at Khabib Nurmagomedov’s camp. If he manages to defeat Rakhmonov, he could silence his critics and cement his legacy in the UFC.
