After an undefeated amateur career, Muhammad made his professional debut in August 2012. He compiled a record of 9 - 0, competing primarily for regional promotions in the Midwest, which included two fights in Bellator MMA.
He signed with the UFC in the heels of a TKO victory over Steve Carl in which he became the Titan FC Welterweight Champion.
Muhammad made his promotional debut on July 7, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 90 where he was tabbed as a short notice replacement to face Alan Jouban. He lost the fight via unanimous decision. Both participants were awarded Fight of the Night honors for their performance.
