Belal Muhammad Vows Comeback After UFC Vegas 118 Loss

Former UFC Welterweight champion Belal Muhammad suffered a significant unanimous decision loss to Gabriel Bonfim in the main event of UFC Vegas 118, which took place yesterday, June 6, 2026, in Las Vegas. This defeat extends Muhammad's losing streak to three fights, the longest of his professional career. He previously lost to Ian Garry at UFC Qatar and the Welterweight title to Jack Della Maddalena.

Following the loss, Muhammad took to social media to address the setback, expressing gratitude for the experience and vowing to return. He wrote, "You don't find out who you are when everything goes your way. You find out when it doesn't." Muhammad's next announced fight is not in MMA; he is set to face Ben Askren in a wrestling match on July 18 at Real American Freestyle 11.
