Belal Muhammad has vowed to carry the Palestine flag to the cage at UFC 315, where he defends the welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena.
In Montreal on 9 May, Muhammad will make his first defence of the belt, which he took from Leon Edwards with a unanimous-decision win in July. The UFC 315 main event follows an online episode from March, when the Palestine flag was removed from Muhammad’s fighter profile on ufc.com before being restored.
