Conor McGregor hilariously channeled Joe Rogan’s commentary as he took aim at Belal Muhammad on Saturday night.
The legendary two-weight world champion was an interested viewer as his close friend Ian Machado Garry faced off with Shavkat Rakhmonov in a welterweight title eliminator at UFC 310. And unfortunately for McGregor, his countryman lost a razor-close decision after five rounds of battle.
This led Muhammad to enter the octagon and begin promotion for a new fight with Rakhmonov after the pair had been due to square off tonight. However, he needed a minute to be let in by arena security, who weren’t aware he was supposed to be getting in the cage.

Belal Muhammad struggles to get in the octagon after UFC 310 co-main event
After watching from cageside as Rakhmonov defeated Garry in a late-notice title eliminator in the T-Mobile Arena, Belal Muhammad was called into the ring by his challenger. As he approached the cage, however, it seemed security weren’t interested in letting him in.
Joe Rogan on the microphone joked that security ‘don’t know he’s the world champion’ and demanded that he be let in, leading to an awkward moment. Eventually he made it in for a face-off, but the language barrier between the pair led to a relatively flat moment.
Muhammad is currently recovering from a severe toe injury that he feels almost caused him to amputate. But he expects to make a full recovery and defend the title which he won from Leon Edwards at UFC 304 back in July.
Conor McGregor rips into Belal Muhammad after embarrassing security incident
Conor McGregor was in hysterics after hearing Rogan’s line, posting one of his infamous voice messages to his 8.9million followers on X. He first congratulated Garry for his performance, before turning his attentions to mocking Muhammad.
In his voice note, McGregor said: “The security doesn’t know he’s the champ, look at the state of this c***. The security doesn’t know he’s the champ? I’m not surprised motherf***er, he is an a**hole that thing.
“Shut your mouth you little dope, you barely got into the ring, they don’t even know you were the champ you thick. ‘Who the f*** is that guy’ the security said! Ah stop man, two a*** wipes, yeah.” He captioned the message: “2 bums”.
