Born into a humble Palestinian family, Belal Muhammad is leading the way for Mixed Martial Arts in Chicago. He is also emerging as one of the top strikers in the welterweight division.

Muhammad is a combat strategy encyclopedia. Not only has he characterized his style by winning fights while standing, but he has also secured victories through submission, like when he defeated the Japanese fighter Takashi Sato by choke in 2019.
Gilbert Burns
- Odds: -137
- Record: 22-5-0
- Age: 36
- Height: 1.78 m
- Weight: 77Kg

On the other hand, with more experience in the professional business, Gilbert Burns is winning the hearts of UFC fans in each of his fights. Additionally, the popular Durinho is on a roll this 2023 with two outstanding victories. The first one was against Neil Magny by submission in January, and the second, which was more relevant, was against the iconic Jorge Masvidal on April 8th at UFC 287.
Full of energy, the Rio de Janeiro native has spent the last year trying to complement his style and add to his already characteristic method of fighting based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, something he perfected greatly since his defeat against the Swedish-Chechen Khamzat Chimaev.
