Belal Muhammad will represent a lot more than himself when he steps into the octagon on Sept. 7. He meets Takashi Sato in a welterweight bout at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi, and this one feels a little more special for him than usual. Born in Chicago to Palestinian parents, the Muslim-born Muhammad (15-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) will get to compete in the Middle East for the first time in his career, an opportunity to introduce himself to the fans in the region.
