Will Belal Make History as the 1st Palestinian UFC Champion? | 7 Days Out: UFC 304

#ufc304
#belalmuhammad
#leonedwards
In this new episode of "7 Days Out," I returned to Chicago to catch up with UFC Welterweight Belal Muhammad, who is now preparing to take on Leon Edwards for his first ever UFC title at the CO-OP Live Arena in Manchester, England on July 27th. We go deep into the past years with Belal, revisiting old memories and reflecting on the resilience and dedication that define his journey.
During our day together, Belal shared his insights on his relentless pursuit of becoming a champion, his unwavering stance on the ongoing Palestine/Israel conflicts, and his commitment to being a voice for his Muslim community as a proud Palestinian. As we delve deeper into Belal's world, we witness the culmination of years of hard work and his unyielding determination to reach the pinnacle of his sport. This episode not only highlights his physical and mental preparations for the biggest fight of his career but also sheds light on his role as an advocate for his people and his mission to inspire others through his platform.

that Anatomy of a Fighter championship touch is crazy 🏆 big ups to Belal.

[@Bulldozered2003]

Dana is not the boss. He’s the face. He knows Ari is pissed and this is precisely why he had nothing positive to say about being stunned that the number 1 contender for two years endured and won. Here’s why: Back in 2022… after beating Maia, Wonderboy and Luque, it seems like Ari Emmanuel tasked Dana with one mission: never allow Belal Muhammad to fight for the belt. So he threw an undefeated Sean Brady and then a beast in Gilbert Burns at him... all it did was add another two Ws to Belal's record before the ultimate W at UFC 304. Thus by 2023… the attempt to delay, derail and destroy his shot became evident to all. It got so bad that minions among the MMA troll community began the “he’s boring” campaign. Ari’s successful team of entertainment marketers knew the algorithm would be cemented by uniting two words: boring + Belal. This was the stage that made it evident there was indeed a coordinated campaign of hatred against him. Instead of playing up the eye poke history and the natural reason to allow a rematch and highlighting how much better each of them had become over the years of improvements and training, UFC was forced from upper management (well above Dana lemme tell you) to attempt to ignore Belal’s existence. So to see Belal get his rematch against the other guy-who was a typical arrogant, disrespectful, over-rated bum, living off of the luckiest head kick in history and claiming the slogan “headshotdead”-was satisfying in and of itself. Better was knowing Belal marched into Britain against that British fighter and snatched his fame, his honor, his legacy and his gold all in front of a hostile crowd, that was the largest attended UFC event in UK history according to Dana White. (Lots boos turned to tears as predicted with full confidence by Belal I might add! 🤣) And better still was the method: rag doll the Brit, toss him around like salad, flip him around like pancakes, show him some Canelo-style quick strikes and ultimately force Dana to wrap that belt around the waist of the 36 year-old son of Palestinian refugees and bring the first major sports championship back to Chicago in nearly a decade! And even better still was hearing the other guy & his team of bums and failed cheerleaders make excuses about sleep, being flat and back issues and blah blah blah... while Belal and his corner had to fly half across the Atlantic and endure similarly. And all of this coming after two amazingly short performances of Paddy's smooth submission (about 3 mins) and Tom's gasoline-hardened fists dropping Curtis in 1 minute. Lastly, you and I will die... but in the annals of MMA history and specifically UFC... the world will REMEMBER THE NAME: B E L A L 🇵🇸 M U H A M M A D UFC Welterweight Champion Oh and end the g-no-ide & free the Holy Land! Existence is resistance! 😃 Have a good day all! ✌🏽

[@AnatomyofaFighter]

Belal is one of the good guys, who grinded his way to the top. I filmed his first "7 Days Out" series years ago and here we are. Incredible story. Whether you are rooting for him or not, you will appreciate his story. Good Luck Bully B over there in Manchester.

[@GorillazINmist]

Nice guy, on a winning streak and showed v Sean Brady he can put on a show training with the dagestanis.... He's going be better... No many are giving him a chance... Which makes him dangerous!

@@vajidali530 The last time I checked the country on the ground is Israel. This is the messy business of geo-politics and that's another conversation. Tell ya what, why don't all of you's get on a plane and go back to the motherland and take the protest and cause there... the American people don't have anything to do with our corrupt leaders. Your fight is there - not here. Q: What has Palestine ever given Balal, in terms of his freedom, life-style and success ? It was this country that afforded all of these things, not only for him, but many, many more. Perhaps it's time to go home !!
