Belal Muhammad already has a name in mind for his next challenge, but it lies outside the UFC’s plans.
Last weekend, Muhammad saw his recent run of setbacks extend beyond the Octagon when he took on reigning Real American Freestyle welterweight champion David Carr at RAF 4 inside the Fishers Event Center in Indiana.
After a fast-paced opening from “Remember the Name,” Carr quickly took control of the bout, securing a dominant technical fall to retain his title just 30 seconds into the second period.
Despite the one-sided result, the former UFC 170-pound champion embraced the challenge and remains eager for another run on the wrestling mats, with a familiar rival already on his radar in Colby Covington.
