Belal Muhammad is looking to spice things up significantly. After losing his title to Jack Della Maddalena, he is looking to make a swift comeback. Trying to prove his worth as a fighter in the promotion, Muhammad is determined to up his game as he suffers from heartbreak. However, in a recent statement, Muhammad dropped the probable date for his return to the UFC. Surprisingly, it might be the same as the PPV, where Della Maddalena fights Islam Makhachev.
In a recent appearance on ‘Remember The Show’ podcast, Muhammad stated that he is looking to make a return in November. Along with that the former champion also pointed out that the Makhachev vs. Della Maddalena fight too, should take place at Madison Square Garden in November. As per Muhammad, he doesn’t think it’s feasible for Makhachev to wait further and go all the way to Perth.
“If it’s MSG, I definitely want to be on the same card as them… I don’t think it makes sense for Islam to go all the way to Perth,” said Muhammad.

“I’m not a guy that’s gonna sit there and put blame on anybody. People love to see you fail, people love to see you fail, and they waited 6 years for me to lose, and they waited 11 fights to see me lose. But they’re not gonna see me with my head down. They’re not gonna see me quit, they’re not gonna see me break. What I’m gonna do is take that loss, grow from it, get better from it, and just continue to be a different animal and keep continuing to do what they think I can’t do,” said Muhammad.
