Belal Muhammad and Conor McGregor’s feud is once again highlighted in the timeline. The UFC welterweight champion went after The Notorious after he claimed himself to be a better fighter than he was when he fought Eddie Alvarez.

Although Conor McGregor has yet to respond, it is clear that The Notorious does not share a cordial relationship with Belal Muhammad. Their previous jabs at each other on interviews and social media had Remember the Name’s latest post as a new addition.

An account on X (formerly Twitter) that goes by the name of Historic Vids recently shared a video of Conor McGregor. The Notorious’ knockout over Eddie Alvarez was highlighted in the post with the caption, “Prime Conor McGregor was so smooth.”

The Eddie Alvarez fight was arguably the peak of Conor McGregor’s career. After knocking out the former champ, The Notorious earned double championship status, becoming one of the very few fighters who held titles in two divisions.

Although this performance is lauded as McGregor’s best, The Notorious disagrees. Quote-tweeting the post, he wrote, “I’m even smoother now.” It seems like fans are in for a treat with the Irishman’s next fight in the octagon.

Will Belal Muhammad fight Conor McGregor?

Ahead of the fight against Leon Edwards, Belal Muhammad was asked if he would fight Conor McGregor. Most UFC fighters would love an opportunity to fight the Irishman for a money fight and pay-per-view sales.

Belal Muhammad is no different. Remember the Name revealed he would be interested in a money fight with Conor McGregor. However, the welterweight champion does not believe the Irishman will show up for the fight.


“If he’s pulling out for a freaking toe to fight Michael Chandler, he’ll probably pull out for a broken nail to fight me,” said Belal Muhammad. Bully B brings attention to the Irishman’s withdrawal from UFC 303 due to a said pinky toe injury.
