Inför UFC 288 uttryckte UFC-chefen Dana White att vinnaren mellan Belal Muhammad och Gilbert Burns skulle gå match om titeln härnäst. Muhammad och Burns drabbade samman i den delade huvudmatchen på den stjärnspäckade galan i Newark, New Jersey. Burns skadade armen tidigt i den första ronden och blev sedan dominerad av Muhammad under stora delar av matchen. Muhammad vann till slut via enhälligt domslut (50–45, 49–46, 49–46).
UFC-mästaren Leon Edwards förväntas att ta sig an den topprankade welterviktaren Colby Covington senare i år. Det är dock ännu oklart när matchen kommer att gå av stapeln. Edwards har uttryckt att han skulle vilja gå match på UFC 294 i Abu Dhabi i oktober.

Man Belal always comes with the game plan. Left kick this time. Circled into the shot against Luque. Stayed in a real low stance and 1-2’d Brady. He has a plan and he sticks to it, so smart#UFC288

50-45 Belal on my scorecard. Could be 49-46 if you give Gilbert the 4th.
Either way – technical domination by Belal Muhammad. Props.
I'll be interested to hear what happened with Burns' arm. #UFC288

Is something wrong with Gilbert shoulder ?! #UFC288

Time to give Belal Muhammad his credit. Three rounds or five, he was a man on a mission tonight. Pressure, volume, constant stance switches 👌🏻 #UFC288

Not a thrilling fight here from Muhammad and Burns but not sure what people were expecting. They signed for this 16 days ago. Not proper prep for a bout of this magnitude. #UFC288

Today on ABC I picked Muhammad & Cejudo, half way there. Either way this fight should be intriguing. #UFC288

So Belal is one of my best friends. A brother. Gilbert is my teammate and a good friend of mine. This sucks for me. May the best man win tonight ⚡️ #UFC288

Beating an injured Burns isn't going to convince Belal's skeptics. Maybe that's fair, but it's also pretty clear Belal is massively improved from a few years ago.

Before fight: Showing pic of Belal foot and video of him walking and saying Belal preparing excuses when he lose.
After fight: Burns injured shoulder and that´s why he lost.
Belal Muhammad just build different. #UFC288 pic.twitter.com/WxLvncwcST— Thanks to all who support (@HARDWORKx2) May 7, 2023
Fresh off Ramadan, on 2-weeks notice, Palestinian fighter Belal Muhammad earns a massive win over Gilbert “Durinho” Burns.
This sets him up for a welterweight title shot.
You can’t deny this man anymore. 10-fight win streak. Remember the Name.
