Belal visited Nurmagomedov before the fight against Rakhmonov.

UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad (24-3) has agreed to assist Khabib Nurmagomedov and his fighters in preparing for their upcoming bouts, as reported by Vesti.kz.

Muhammad has joined the training camp of UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev (26-1), who is preparing to defend his title against Arman Tsarukyan (22-3).

Additionally, Belal will support bantamweight title contender Umar Nurmagomedov (18-0), who is set to face Georgian fighter Merab Dvalishvili (18-4).

It is worth noting that Muhammad is the next opponent for Kazakh fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0). They were initially scheduled to meet in December, but Muhammad withdrew due to health issues. Consequently, Shavkat fought Irishman Ian Garry (15-1) and won by unanimous decision.
