In the main event of UFC Vegas 118, Belal Muhammad faced Gabriel Bonfim and suffered a decisive defeat, losing all five rounds with a score of 50-45. This marked Muhammad's third consecutive loss, following previous defeats to Jack Della Maddalena and Ian Machado Garry. Despite the setback, Muhammad achieved a significant milestone by landing 86 significant strikes, which allowed him to surpass Neil Magny and set a new record for the most significant strikes in UFC welterweight history, totaling 1,515. Known for his wrestling skills, Muhammad had previously won the welterweight title in 2024 but has struggled in recent fights. The loss to Bonfim, ranked No. 11 in the welterweight division, will likely push Muhammad further away from title contention, leaving him to reevaluate his strategy moving forward. As he continues to navigate this losing streak, Muhammad remains a notable figure in the UFC, holding a record that reflects his striking prowess over his career.
