There’s no doubt that Belal Muhammad has a large number of critics online—many of whom seem to dislike him without any clear reason. Much of the negativity appears to stem from his fighting style, which some fans find unappealing despite his consistent success. Now, ahead of his next fight, Belal has shared a direct message for those haters. Confident as ever, he made it clear that he’s not planning to fail anytime soon like Bo Nickal.
Talking to Kairouz Bros, Muhammad offered a message to those doubting his success. The UFC champ explained that he believes people often dislike winners, especially dominant ones. According to him, his consistent victories and ability to defeat fan-favorite fighters have made him a target for hate.
“I think people just hate winners; they hate guys that dominate. I’m a dominant champion. I’ve beaten all their favorite fighters. People want to see you fail, like you saw with Bo Nickal. For me, they’re never going to see me fail, so all those haters and tweeters—save those drafts, because you’re not going to be able to press send this weekend,” he said.

Using Nickal’s recent loss as an example of how the public enjoys seeing successful athletes stumble, Muhammad emphasized that he doesn’t plan to give his haters that satisfaction. He told them to save their tweets and negative predictions because they won’t have the chance to hit send after his next fight.
Belal Muhammad Shares The Reason That Makes Him Different
In his Fox Chicago interview, Muhammad explained that he skips celebrations and vacations so he can keep improving. He sees no benefit in taking time off after any fight, whether he wins or loses. Instead, he studies each performance and works on his weaknesses during every training camp. Even after winning the UFC title, he passed on a getaway and focused on growing stronger each day.
Indeed, all eyes are now on UFC 315 to see if Belal Muhammad can shift the perception of his critics with a strong performance. A win this weekend could not only solidify his place at the top but also challenge the narrative held by those who continue to doubt him.
