Former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and other Muslim fighters refused to participate in fights during the fast. But Muhammad believes that he is only getting stronger this month.
“During Ramadan, I become the best version of myself as a person and as a Muslim. When I'm in a calm state of mind, that's when I'm at my best. The mental strength I receive goes into the octagon with me.
The calmness I experience in the week leading up to a fight is a completely different feeling. I'm not worried about the fight. All month long I'm giving my time, energy and spirit to God so I don't have to worry about things I shouldn't worry about. “I think this makes me a much better person,” MMA Junkie quotes the American.
According to the latest information, Muhammad will fight with champion Leon Edwards on April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas.
