'If you're able, please lend a helping hand where and how you can. It's gonna be a long road ahead, but right now the shock, the pain, and the chaos need the steady hand of a neighbor,' he added. 'Texans are some of the most resilient and generous people on the planet.'

How Belal Muhammad used AI to craft perfect response to Ian Machado Garry's accusation
Ian Machado Garry is pushing for a fight with Belal Muhammad at UFC 319 in Chicago. Garry accuses Muhammad of avoiding him. Muhammad responded to Garry using AI, creating a viral moment. He used ChatGPT to generate trash talk. Muhammad hinted at a possible fight in November. The verbal exchange promotes a potential title eliminator fight in the welterweight division. The ongoing allegations by Ian Machado Garry against Belal Muhammad, claiming the latter is avoiding a confrontation between them, have become the subject of a full social media, as well as the ex-UFC welterweight champion has resorted to the use of artificial intelligence to formulate his answer. Garry has been campaigning hard to get a high-stakes fight in the hometown of Muhammad at UFC 319 in Chicago on Aug 16th where years earlier Muhammad snatched the unanimous decision victory over Jack Della Maddalena. Ian Machado Garry intensifies pressure for UFC 319 Chicago showdown Ian Machado Garry has not been shy to express the desire to fight Belal Muhammad in a potential decisive eliminator match, which will be fought in the welterweight division. The Irish-born fighter who had a 16-1 record, carrying 9 wins inside the octagon in his name thinks that Muhammad is deliberately dodging the encounter by providing callouts against other fighters. In particular, Garry referred to the way Muhammad continued referring to Kamaru Usman when the former champion publicly proclaimed that he would not fight shortly. Belal Muhammad continues to call out Kamaru Usman Garry added in his Instagram video callout. Kamaru Usman himself said that he would never fight shortly, so why did he call him out in the first place? He is not addressing me because he does not want to see me." The 27-year-old opponent also accused Muhammad of having referred to the name of Sean Brady considering that Muhammad had already beaten Sean and knocked him out before. Belal Muhammad's AI-generated response creates a viral moment Instead of fashioning a traditional reaction, Belal Muhammad had an unconventional correspondence and found his way to use ChatGPT to create his response to Ian Machado Garry. The 35-year-old Windy City native, who has a 24-win-4-loss record including 15 wins in the UFC, openly admitted that he used artificial intelligence when creating his trash talk, which subsequently became viral throughout the MMA community. Reading the result of the AI suggestion on his phone, Muhammad said: "Ian Garry trying to do some Conor cosplay and Dollar Tree trash talk out here. You have sharper jabs than you have lines, bro. You sound like a teenager who found the McGregor highlights." This was followed by a cutting out of their promotional skills of Garry and the advice that he practice his verbal skills until they are as precise as the ones his barber works out. The artistic strategy has been a huge hit among the viewers of the UFC, and many have endorsed the utilization of technology by Muhammad in the process of promoting fights. Social media responded in a way such as messages saying that the interaction was like "10-7 ChatGPT" and that Belal has a good trash talk game, and it does not even look human at times. Interestingly, the caption by Muhammad hinted at a November date of the possible fight, actually writing "See you in November, dork" which would imply that Muhammad may be looking at a slot on a New York City pay-per-view to avoid the August date that Garry is prodding to be an event in Chicago. Also Read: News Roundup MMA: Robert Whittaker Plans Retirement, Ilia Topuria Targets Islam Makhachev, Gunnar Nelson As the two contenders are ranked right now, in the welterweight division, such verbal exchange of words is a good promotion of a potential title eliminator fight. With Islam Makhachev about to become the next challenger to Jack Della Maddalena later this year, it would stand to reason that whoever wins the possible Muhammad versus Garry manner of matchup would have earned the next title shot, thus causing this rivalry to be even greater concerning the title aspirations of both fighters. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
