Islam Makhachev and Belal Muhammad are brothers-in-arms ever since the latter trained for his fight at UFC 311. However, Makhachev wants another belt, and that too in his friend and welterweight champion’s category. The lightweight champ however has to wait and see what happens at UFC 315 between Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. However , ‘Remember the Name’ strictly announced that he would never fight Makahchev.
He said to Barstool Chicago, “We’ve trained together, and when you’re sweating with somebody, bleeding with somebody, and training like that, it’s just a different relationship.” And looks like he is sticking to the point while he gave intel on Team Khabib’s plan for Makhachev.
Muhammad spilled the truth on where he stands, with team Khabib, and said, “I don’t think they would do that. I talk to Khabib all the time, he even messaged me the other day. So like I said, them guys are so big about loyalty, and I am the same way.”

The Palestinian-American advised Makhachev to start his fight camp. “We’ve talked about it, he said, ‘Oh man, you’ve ruined my plans, it’s one of those things. Now they’re waiting to see what happens this weekend, but I tell them, like, I would get your (next) fight signed because I’m not leaving Montreal without the belt, I’m still gonna be the champ,” Muhammad expressed, on The Anik and Florian Podcast.
