Belal Muhammad answers who has more haters between himself and Nina-Marie Daniele
UFC welterweight world title challenger Belal Muhammad had a hilarious interaction with famous media personality Nina-Marie Daniele ahead of UFC 304. During the event's media segments, 'Remember The Name' sat down with the polarizing MMA journalist and answered some interesting questions.
Daniele is known for her out-of-left-field questions that often produce a chuckle from fighters, as they catch them off guard. In her interview with Muhammad, the surging welterweight happily obliged her with the humorous banter.
When asked by Daniele who has more haters, him or her, Muhammad hilariously replied with:
"That's very interesting, right? Like, sometimes, when I feel bad about myself, I go read your comments. If I feel bad, I gotta read yours. (laughs)."
Daniele, quick as a whip, answered back:
"So I make you feel better about yourself?"
Muhammad replied:
"Honestly, you do. Literally."
Here's a full clip of the interaction, as posted by Nina-Marie Daniele on Instagram:
Belal Muhammad jokes on being asked about dancing: "I took ballet for fighting"
In the same interview segment, Belal Muhammad was asked if he can dance and he jokingly admitted to having taken ballet to supplement his fight training. This produced a laugh in the room but the welterweight fighter kept at his bit, saying:
"I took ballet for fighting. So I got rhythm, grace, and uhm... like 'The Touch"
When asked what "The Touch" was, Belal Muhammad said (via Nina-Marie Daniele on Instagram):
"You don't know what dancing is, obviously. [But] Simon Cowell was judging me like 'Yo, you got the touch.'"
We can't corroborate if he took ballet and if "The Touch" is real, but we can say that Muhammad has the touch to put someone away in a fight. 'Remember The Name' has knocked out more than a few fighters in his career, his most recent being Sean Brady at UFC 280 in 2022.
Let's see if that touch translates to a world title win against Leon Edwards at UFC 304 this weekend.
