Belal Muhammad Slams Talk For McGregor Fight: “He looks like he’s on drugs”

The UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad is fully against the idea of fighting Conor McGregor for a title fight. Belal feels that McGregor is unworthy of such an opportunity and should first show up for his much-awaited fight with Michael Chandler.

Belal Muhammad is more inclined to defend his hard-earned belt against the rising contenders in the competitive welterweight division.

Belal Muhammad on Conor McGregor fighting at welterweight

Recently, on Submission Radio, Belal Muhammad explained why he wasn’t intrigued by fighting Conor McGregor.

“I don’t think he’ll look good at 170,” Muhammad said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “The dude doesn’t look good in life right now. He looks like he’s coked out. He looks like he’s on drugs.

If he beats Michael Chandler, I wouldn’t even let him skip the line, because like I said, there’s guys that work for it. There’s guys that got here. And then even with the last fight with Colby [Covington] skipping the line for Leon.

I’m like, I would never do that because there’s guys that are actually putting the work in. For legacy-wise, obviously I would want to slap Conor around, but there would be too much for it not to happen, right? It took him this long to fight this fight.

It took him this long to make this fight happen with Chandler".

“So for them to even think that, ‘Conor’s going to fight for the welterweight belt,’ then I gotta sit here and wait two years.

No, it’s not going to happen. I’ll give it to the guys that are actually fighting, guys that are actually putting the work in and guys that deserve it".
