It is true that many fans attacked Belal Muhmmad for failing to get the finish and relying solely on victories by resolutions. ‘Remember my name’ has won 16 out of 21 career victories by decision. His last finish was against Takashi Sato at UFC 242 in 2019.
His lack of offense may be why many fans find his fights boring, but it sure helped him win. Everyone has a style, what matters is how you use it to win.
Fighting fans, however, will be excited to know that something is about to change in Muhmmad’s fighting style, as fighters have noted recently.

Belal Mohammed compares the trajectory of his career with champions like Khabib and Usman
during the post-fight press conference UFC Vegas51, Mohammed discussed the game plan and their fights were unsuccessful.
Mohammed has announced that the finishes are coming soon, and he understands that the fans disapprove of him for not finishing the fights. Warrior announced that the endings will soon be at the right time. He also compared his situation to major champions like Nurmagomedov and Usman. Mohammed explained that these guys had to face criticism for not finishing early in their careers, but piling up on multiple finishes later. The warrior promised to be the same as him.
“Future man! A lot of people are going to tell me about this, ‘oh, he needs to finish the fight, bla bla bla. He’s coming at the right time, he’s coming at the right time, just like Champion, Kamaru, Khabib and all the other guys. They’ve had those times, oh! these guys It doesn’t finish, and then it does one after another, and I think it’s going to be the same way.” I said Mohammed.
It will be more difficult for Mohammed to achieve what Nurmagomedov and Usman have done in their careers. But there’s still time and resources for a 33-year-old to make changes to his game and get much-needed endings.
