Chapter 1: Who is Bilal Muhammad and what are his upcoming fights?
There's a lot of guys, especially like him, where he cuts weight drinking wine. And he could do that fight week. I think he probably gets tired of cutting weight. Cutting weight's not fun. And he probably thinks that with the confidence from knocking out Holloway and Volkanovski back-to-back, he thinks that, yeah, I can knock these guys out.
But the only fight he's had at 55, he's gotten dropped by Jai Herbert. And then we've seen him get out-muscled and out-wrestled by a couple guys at 45. I think Islam's just going to be way too big for him. But if he goes out there and he beats a guy like Oliveira or even like a Justin or Dustin, then you earn your spot.
I think that for him, it'll just show them and it'll make that fight even bigger with Islam. And then I guess there's Armand at that division too, right?
That division's stacked now.
Yeah, there's so many good fights for him. Paddy just won too. Paddy too. For his line, there's guys that he hasn't fought, right? And there's other guys that are up there that are hyping it up and that'll be huge fights. Armand is...
beast but that injury last one so like for him now it's just trying to get another fight out the way but it's hard because nobody wants to fight anybody every one of them saying like now I'm gonna wait for the title fight Oliver I'm not fighting nobody but for the title to pour you I'm not fighting nobody but for the title Justin I earned a title shot so like you said I think they're all just waiting for the the dominoes to fall in after next week and I think a lot of like the questions will be answered
Yeah, I saw you posted the other day a t-shirt of you and Hamza. A fake like fight. Was that like, what's going on there? Is that like something you want to happen one day?
Somebody asked me in an interview, they're like, would you move up to 85 if Hamza was champion? And I said, bro, I was calling him out when I was at Welterweight. When he was Welterweight, I literally wore that shirt to the event. And I had shirts I was throwing out to the crowd. For myself, I'm a guy like... I want to fight the toughest guys, the toughest test. He's undefeated.
They think that he can walk through everybody. You're not going to walk through me. So I was calling him out. And then he posted like a pony yesterday. And he's like, where are you going?

Chapter 2: What challenges does Bilal face in his upcoming fight?
Exactly, right? And then nobody has, like, an ego. Like, I'm not jealous of you that you're the champion now. They all, like, Habib will sit there and buy all these guys, you know, go to the nicest clothing stores, buy them clothes, and he'll be like, this is my favorite store. And he'll go to just, like, regular buy t-shirt stuff. But he's taking care of everybody around him.
And just, like, shows you, like, his humbleness. There's not, like, I'm sitting first class, you're sitting in the back. Like, he doesn't have none of that. No, yeah. We've seen that with the... playing into the... Bro, exactly, right? It just shows you what type of guy he is. That's what I built around myself.
The guys that I have around me, the team that I have around me, we've all been together probably for like 15 years. We all trained together. We all started together. So even when I got to title fight, people were like, oh, come here to this gym. Go to a bigger gym here. Go there. And I was like, no, these are the guys that got me here. We all got here together.
We're all going to win the title together. So even winning the belt, it was like a journey for all of us. We achieved it all together Because they're sacrificing time for their day to come and help me train. The people that work with me that are in my corner, they have other jobs. They have families. But they're going on the road with me. They're going to practices with me. They're watching me.
They're studying tape. And I don't take that lightly. It just makes me want to work that much harder for them. Because it's a selfish sport. But it's also a team sport as well where... Like, I see you putting it all in, so I'm going to go all in for you guys too.
100%.
Which is crazy. He can say one thing and then people are like, they'll make 20 articles about it, right? Like he was big after the McGregor fight, but then I think it's when he really like stood on business and actually said like, yo, I'm walking away.
because people didn't at first like when someone says they're retiring they're like yeah right like yeah but it's when he actually said like no like i told my mom i'm done and like he never came back and then you kind of like realized like what type of person he really was you know what i mean right oh shit this guy actually like i mean who knows how much he could have made what did the ufc throw at him you think like bro i could i can imagine how much do you think
I would say at least 20, 30 mil. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. For that, like, McGregor, Khabib, too? Even with, like, the bigger names. At that time, Oliveira was blowing up, and he had the hype, right? They were like, oh, Khabib's running from Oliveira. Like, there was nobody bigger than Khabib. And even with the GSP fight, if he would have came back for that fight, imagine how big that would have been.
