Former double UFC champion Conor McGregor has confidently stated that he would have no trouble defeating welterweight champion Belal Muhammad.
McGregor wrote on social media:
I'd love to crush my left hook into Belal's temple and take down the triple crown. I'd do it easily. And fast!...To think this bum is now a UFC champion with zero knockdowns on his resume whatsoever is so bad. The UFC's most abysmal zero revenue generating fighter in modern history.
Previously, McGregor announced that he would return to the octagon on February 1.
McGregor's last fight was against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264, where he suffered a technical knockout due to a broken leg. His record stands at 22 wins and 6 losses.
Belal Muhammad is set to defend his title against Shavkat Rakhmonov on December 7 at UFC 310. Muhammad's record includes 24 wins, 3 losses, and one no-contest.
