Belal Muhammad battles Bonfim June 6 in Vegas

Welterweight contender Belal Muhammad is slated to face surging Brazilian Gabriel Bonfim in the main event of the June 6 UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. Muhammad, long considered near the front of the title queue, gets another high‑risk matchup against an ascending talent rather than waiting on a championship bout. Bonfim, meanwhile, receives a massive rankings opportunity in his first headlining assignment, where a standout performance could catapult him into the upper echelon at 170 pounds. The bout will likely have major implications for future title eliminators and underscores the UFC’s willingness to match contenders aggressively in the welterweight division.
