"My high school wrestling coach was there for a year and he left and I was at the University of Illinois in Champaign going for law," said Bilal Muhammad, a south side native who went to Bogan High School. "I ended up seeing him in the newspaper, fighting on TV and I was like 'Oh crap, that's my old wrestling coach.'"That led to a Facebook message, a visit to his old coach's gym, and the start of a journey in MMA for Muhammad that's put him among the best in his division in the sport. The UFC welterweight fighter has a 22-3 professional record and has worked his way up to the No. 4 ranking in the division in 2023. He's in the co-main event on Saturday's UFC 288 on Saturday night at the Prudential Center in Newark as he'll face fifth-ranked Gilbert Burns.Muhamm...
