Belal Muhammad is already looking ahead after a disappointing loss in his first championship defense.

“Remember the Name” fell short on the scorecards in the UFC 315 main event and dropped his welterweight title to Jack Della Maddalena after an intense five-round fight. All three judges scored the fight for Della Maddalena, with two submitting narrow 48-47 cards.

Later on Saturday, Muhammad took to social media to briefly comment on the loss and his future.
