Belal Muhammad’s complaints about the absence of a flag next to his name have been addressed.
While he now lives in Chicago, Muhammad has always been a proud representative of his Palestinian roots. The UFC welterweight champ walks out with the Palestinian flag and has strongly voiced his opinions on the ongoing crisis in the region.
Muhammad recently complained about the lack of a Palestinian flag next to his name on the UFC’s official website, and Dana White made sure that the issue was addressed immediately. Muhammad thanked White and the UFC for now adding the flag next to his name on the website. “Remember the Name” also noted that White, a strong advocate of free speech, never lets anyone influence his opinions.
“Just wanna give a quick shoutout to Dana,” Muhammad said on Instagram. “Talked to him, he said, ‘The flag is back up tonight.’ Apologized and that’s why I love the UFC. I love this company. And that’s why Dana is the man. The only organization that lets you be yourself. And true to his word, doesn’t let other people sway his attitude or what he’s gonna do. So shoutout to Dana, shoutout to the UFC and flag is back, baby.”
Unbeaten in 11 outings since 2019, Muhammad won the title with a dominant decision victory over Leon Edwards at UFC 304 last year. The 36-year-old is now scheduled to defend the belt against Australia’s Jack Della Maddalena in the main event at UFC 315 on May 10 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
