Belal Muhammad recently offered a comedic reaction to Dana White's Mount Rushmore as he highlighted an omission made by the UFC CEO. He had been known for his comedic tweets and used the hotly debated topic as a way to continue posting them.
White was recently asked by ESPN who he had in his personal Mount Rushmore of fighters. The UFC CEO named the four fighters, explaining his criteria when narrowing the list down. The fighters he named were Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Ronda Rousey, and Conor McGregor, and noted that he took their respective peaks and impact on the sport into account.
The UFC CEO's Mount Rushmore generated plenty of discussion on social media and resulted in the reigning welterweight champion chiming in as well. Muhammad tweeted an edited version of MMA Junkie's graphic of White's Mount Rushmore that saw him included in it in place of McGregor and comedically mentioned that he was grateful for the recognition:
"Thanks boss"

Belal Muhammad opens up about long road to UFC welterweight championship
Belal Muhammad recently opened up about his long road to the UFC welterweight championship, which has seen him defeat several top contenders before finally being awarded a title shot.
Although 'Remember The Name' wasn't included in Dana White's Mount Rushmore list, he has silenced plenty of doubters since becoming welterweight champion. During his appearance on Michael Bisping's Believe You Me podcast, Muhammad mentioned that he never lost faith and continued to work hard and keep belief that he would become champion:
"We have to fight another guy to get the title shot? It's okay, take it and let's fight. We have to wait a year? Whatever, it's meant to be, take it. And now looking back at everything that I had to go through, it made me the best version of myself on that date, July 27th. So all the ups and downs for me and my family, now we think back to...where we were three or four years ago. It's like, we're blessed." [36:44 - 37:08]
