Belal Muhammad has said some crazy stuff over the years, but \u201cRemember The Name\u201d has topped himself this time by dropping one of the strangest pre-fight quotes ever involving prolific pedophile and billionaire power broker Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
Unless you\u2019re living under a rock, you can\u2019t get away from Epstein chatter these days. The U.S. government has been at war with itself over the past months as some politicians push to release the infamous \u2018Epstein files\u2019 collected by the Justice Department over years of investigation. Epstein was a well-connected pervert and there\u2019s plenty of threads tying him to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and a lot of other powerful people.<\/p>\n
The whole story is gross and tragic for Epstein\u2019s many victims, with over 135 women having come forward and one knowledgeable estimate suggesting he abused over 1000 underage girls. That didn\u2019t stop Muhammad from making a joke about it during UFC Qatar<\/a> media day leading into his co-main fight against Ian Machado Garry.<\/p>\n \u201cMy future is bright,\u201d Muhammad said when asked how he\u2019d handle all the young contenders at welterweight. \u201cI\u2019m training with young monsters. Ignacio Bahamondes is probably 28, and I think he\u2019s one of the best strikers in the UFC. I got a 17 year old now, Ignacio\u2019s younger brother, who\u2019s a monster. It it feels like the Epstein files without the sex. Right? I\u2019m getting their powers through through sparring and training.\u201d<\/p>\n
