UFC Champion Belal Muhammad recalls the funniest thing about his Chicago homecoming.
The city of Chicago remembers the name of its first UFC Champion, Palestinian-American Belal Muhammad , who stole the title from Leon Edwards at UFC 304 this past July in Manchester, England. Muhammad had a homecoming for the ages once he touched back down in the States, surrounded by fans upon his arrival at the airport and celebrated with a community parade thrown in his honor..
"Is that how you got involved in , is it not UFC fighting, it's mostly just street fighting... or?" the news anchor asked the UFC Welterweight Champion."Remember The Name" was surprised to say the least that some people don't have a good grasp on the sport of MMA and its premier promotion, the UFC. "The funniest thing is that I was on WGN News, the big news network here, and then the lady goes, 'Oh, you're the champion of street fighting?' And I'm like, bro, do people still not know what the UFC is?" Muhammad said.
