Belal Muhammad and Conor McGregor are engaged in a heated exchange on social media, with McGregor mocking Muhammad’s withdrawal from a fight due to a toe infection and Muhammad accusing McGregor of being a drug addict, escalating their ongoing feud.
Belal Muhammad and Conor McGregor are at it again, exchanging heated words as if a fight is on the horizon. Their latest spat erupted after Muhammad withdrew from his upcoming welterweight title defense against Shavkat Rakhmonov. Set for UFC 310 on Dec. 7, the bout was canceled due to Muhammad’s toe infection, sidelining him indefinitely.
McGregor, who hasn’t stepped into the octagon in over three years, showed no mercy. He replied with laughing emojis to the news of Muhammad’s withdrawal—a tweet he later deleted. The tension between these two isn’t new. McGregor’s mockery seemed fueled by past grievances when Muhammad poked fun at McGregor’s own toe injury that led to his withdrawal from UFC 303 this past June.
Muhammad wasn’t one to let it slide. He fired back, accusing McGregor of being a drug addict. “I have this for antibiotics,” he commented, sharing a picture of an injection in his arm. “You use needles because you are a junkie. We are not the same.”
McGregor didn’t hold back either, launching into a profanity-laden tirade demanding Muhammad be stripped of his title. “Scutter talk just like your fighting,” McGregor taunted. He criticized Muhammad for previously mocking champions who rescheduled fights due to injuries.
“It is glorious to see,” McGregor continued. “No fight. No money. But staph infection.” His harsh words took a controversial turn with references that struck a nerve given Muhammad’s Palestinian heritage and ongoing conflicts in Gaza.
As of now, Muhammad hasn’t responded to McGregor’s latest outburst. The saga continues, leaving fans wondering what will unfold next in this fiery feud.
