Belal Muhammad snaps at “Junkie” Conor McGregor for mocking UFC 310 withdrawal

Belal Muhammad unloads on Conor McGregor after pulling out of UFC 310

In a recent tweet, Muhammad went scorched Earth on McGregor.

“I have this for antibiotics.. you use needles because you are junkie.. we are not the same,” Muhammad tweeted.

Muhammad earned the UFC welterweight title by defeating Leon Edwards at UFC 304. He’s unbeaten over his last 11 fights, including recent wins over former title challengers Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson.

McGregor hasn’t fought since snapping his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He’s targeting a return to the Octagon in 2025 as he looks to snap a recent losing skid of defeats in three of his last four fights.

As Muhammad recovers from his ailment, the welterweight title picture remains indefinitely paused. Ian Machado Garry and others have expressed interest in facing Rakhmonov for an interim belt at UFC 310.

McGregor is undoubtedly one of the biggest superstars in combat sports history. But, his recent injury issues and delayed UFC return have brought his career to a screeching halt.

Muhammad is also an understudy of Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor’s most heated rival. McGregor and Nurmagomedov had one of the most hostile fight pairings at UFC 229 with Nurmagomedov earning a submission victory.

As Muhammad and McGregor prepare for their UFC comebacks, they remain at each other’s throats on social media.
