One of the most talked about fights of the year was the fight between Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310. The fight went the full distance and for the first time for ‘Nomad’, as he failed to finish his opponent. With this win the Kazakh fighter will now be facing the champion Belal Muhammad when he returns from his injury layoff.

‘Remember the Name’ was present in the arena and watched the fight very closely. After the fight, the 30-year-old Kazakh wanted a face-off with the champion inside the Octagon. However, he was stopped by the security which forced Joe Rogan to say ‘The Security doesn’t know he is the champion’.  Conor McGregor has now taken the opportunity to mock the welterweight champion.

Conor McGregor has never been a fan of Muhammad and has criticized him for his fighting style multiple times. Belal Muhammad appeared unfazed by the security team’s failure to recognize his championship status, as he faced an even louder challenge—a chorus of boos from the crowd—while standing toe-to-toe with the Kazakh phenom. The Dubliner took the opportunity to share his honest opinion on the whole. In his voice note, he said, “The security doesn’t know he is the champ. I am not surprised m———er . He is an a—-le. Shut your mouth you really got yourself into the ring and they don’t even know you are the champion.”

Conor McGregor has long had a rocky relationship with Belal Muhammad’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, and their history of conflicts has been well-documented. Over the years, McGregor hasn’t shied away from trading insults with Abdelaziz, so it came as no surprise when he targeted one of his fighters, Belal Muhammad. McGregor’s apparent dislike for Muhammad was clear in his recent remarks, but whether Muhammad chooses to respond remains uncertain.

If he does, it could spark a heated back-and-forth between the two fighters on social media, escalating into another classic verbal showdown. However, the pair was already involved in a lot of heated exchanges before the UFC 310 event. The champion pulled out of the fight because of an infection and the Dubliner wasted no time in sharing his honest opinion on what should be done next. McGregor currently is facing a lot of troubles outside the Octagon but is still finding time to keep the fans entertained.

McGregor wanted Belal Muhammad to be stripped of his title after UFC 310 withdrawal

Before his fight at UFC 310 Belal Muhammad disclosed that he was dealing with a serious bone infection in one of his toes, forcing him to take six weeks off for recovery. As a result, he won’t be able to compete on the December 7th card, even if he wishes to. However, the outspoken Irishman didn’t hold back, delivering his trademark harsh criticism of the 170-pound champion and revisiting familiar themes in his attacks on Muhammad.

As expected, McGregor took aim at Muhammad’s fighting style, calling it “boring” and mocking his tendency to win by decision. Muhammad’s wrestling-heavy approach has often been a point of criticism, with many fans finding it less exciting. This style has contributed to Muhammad being one of the most polarizing figures in the promotion, with some fans expressing a strong dislike for his approach to fights. He then tweeted,No fight. No money. But staph infection hahahaja LOL! BUM! Stripped! Instantly. Zero Knockdowns/any excitement or traffic or views or ticket sales in bout, and now also non-reliable to show? Strip. Cut. Infected fighter. You have infections. 🤮,” 

The feud between McGregor and Muhammad has been ongoing for quite some time. McGregor once stated that he would love to “cave” Muhammad’s skull in a fight, a comment that sparked a strong response from the Arab-American champion. Muhammad fired back, saying he would relish the chance to face McGregor, confidently claiming he could “literally slap him around the cage.” What will be Belal Muhammad’s response this time around?
