Okay, so I saw Belal Muhammad rocking this awesome shirt at a recent fight, and I was like, “I gotta have that!” So, the hunt began.
First off, I hit up Google, searching for “Belal Muhammad shirt” like a madman. Tons of fan sites and generic merch came up, but nothing that looked quite right. You know, the official gear is always a bit different.
Next up, I started digging through Belal’s social media. I scrolled through his Instagram and Twitter feeds, hoping he’d tagged the brand or something. Took a while, because dude posts a LOT, but finally, BINGO! Found a picture where he mentioned the brand that made it in the comments.
Alright, brand name in hand, I headed straight to their website. It was a smaller brand, so the website wasn’t the easiest to navigate. I searched for “fighter shirts” and “limited edition” stuff. Nothing. I even tried using the site’s search bar with “Belal,” “Muhammad,” and even “Remember the Name,” his catchphrase. Still nada.
Frustrated, I decided to try a different tactic. I checked out the brand’s own social media pages. Thankfully, they had a post featuring Belal wearing the shirt! It mentioned it was a limited-time release and linked to a specific product page.
Clicking the link, I was crushed. Sold out. Of course, it was. But, not giving up that easily, I took a screenshot of the shirt and used Google Lens to see if I could find it anywhere else online.
- eBay: Nothing.
- Amazon: Strike two.
- Other fight gear sites: Zip.
Okay, last resort: I contacted the brand directly through their website. I sent a polite message explaining I was a huge fan of Belal and really wanted the shirt. I asked if they had any returns or maybe a sample they’d be willing to sell. I figured it was a long shot, but worth a try.
And guess what? A few days later, I got a reply! They said they were completely sold out, but someone had actually returned one in my size! They were willing to sell it to me! I almost jumped through the roof!
I bought it immediately! It arrived a week later, and it’s even cooler in person. Now I’m rocking the Belal Muhammad shirt, ready for the next fight night!
The whole process was a bit of a pain, but totally worth it. Persistence pays off, folks!
