Pop sensation and former One Direction member Zayn Malik couldn’t stop himself from intervening after his favorite fighter, Belal Muhammad, was trolled by fans following his ‘boring’ win at UFC Vegas 51.

Belal Muhammad went back into the octagon following his dominant unanimous decision win over Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Daukaus. ‘Remember The Name’ took on his former rival Vicente Luque against whom he lost his second UFC fight at UFC 205.

However, this time was totally different as Muhammad turned the tides on the Brazilian powerhouse with his top-notch wrestling skills. And the person most happy with this win was none other than Zayn Malik.

Malik was supporting Muhammad from the beginning and didn’t shy away from confronting trolls who were after Muhammad for the latter’s ‘boring’ fighting style. Zayn Malik summed up his experience of the fight with only 3 words, “This is insane 🔥🙏🏽 #UFCVegas51,” Malik Tweeted.

After this subtle Tweet, Malik came out aggressively in Muhammad’s support and posted, “People talking shit about this being boring – luque is a fuckin beast- you go hold him off like this! Get a Take down every round ! then come back and talk Muhammad smashing it!! #UFCVegas51.”

Not only did Malik defend his favorite fighter as a true MMA fan, but he also recognized how tough of an opponent Vicente Luque was. However, this isn’t the first time that Malik has proudly showcased his love for MMA and, particularly, UFC.

Malik has been an ardent fan of Mixed Martial Arts and actively showcases support for his favorite fighters. Apart from Belal Muhammad, former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is also someone whom the former One Direction singer supports.

“@UFCmashallah Khabib 🙌🏽”, Malik Tweeted after ‘The Eagle’ won over ‘The Highlight Reel’ Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October 2020. However, this was the last time that the undefeated wrestling prodigy would compete in the UFC, as he laid down his MMA gloves in the octagon.

Nurmagomedov shot to fame following his submission win over Irish superstar and first UFC double-division champion Conor McGregor at UFC 229. However, Nurmagomedov left MMA once and for all at the peak of fame after his father’s sad demise.
