Belal Muhammad hopes one day to catch up with Georges St-Pierre as the largest welterweight ever in the UFC.
This Saturday at UFC 315, Belal Muhammad seems to successfully defend his welterweight title for the first time when he takes on Jack della Maddalena in the main event.
In anticipation of their collision, Mohammed has constantly claimed that he will present his striking to Della Maddalena and offer a daring prediction.
Bizarre enough, a strike that cannot use either hunter is footstamps because they are forbidden by the Quebec Athletic Commission.

Muhammad bumps the GSP for the UFC 315 title defense
'Remember the Name' is currently on a 11-field undefeated streak and a six-fighter profit freak, which slowly brings itself into the conversation as one of the greatest welter weights.
Georges St-Pierre, which is generally considered the greatest welterweight of all time, is present at UFC 315, because he will be Aiemann Zahabi in the corner of featherweight that he takes on Jose Aldo.
And for the big fight of 170LB, Muhammad and GSP were caught in conversation by the UFC -Intanden cameras.
“Good luck, man,” St-Pierre told Muhammad as he pretended to be shot the champion.
“You are the goat, I am in your house, I want to appreciate you and set up a show for you,” answered Muhammad.
“It is clear that one of my favorite hunters grew up. A man I have always looked at, I loved his fighting, he is also the nicest man in the world, so it would be cool if I could ever train with him and work with him,” offered Mohammed.
“I think it will be a great show and I think we will have some of the local boys who will do well, they will put themselves on the map with a great achievement,” St-Pierre continued.
Della Maddalena compared Muhammad with St-Pierre
Although he was considered one of the greatest of all time, St-Pierre got a lot of criticism of the backend of his career for his passive fighting style.
And for his fight against Mohammed, Della Maddalena compared the 'boring fighting style' of the champion with that of St-Pierre, not as a compliment.
After his retirement, St-Pierre continued training in sport, looking for ways to improve, and recently revealed that he is '100%' for a return when it is in Jiu-Jitsu.
