Former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad suffered a second loss in a row this past Saturday in the UFC Qatar co-main event. “Remember the Name” was defeated by Ian Machado Garry and for the first time in his 13-year profession Muhammad is coming off back-to-back losses.

“We couldn’t get it done. Thank you Doha for the memories. Thank you to my team and family and friends that are with me no matter what, and Thank you to anyone that’s with me,” he wrote on Instagram. “Alhamdillah for everything I’m blessed to be here …we have work to do.”
