A clearly intoxicated McGregor dropped an X Voice post mocking Muhammad, but the whole thing just came off as sad.

Conor McGregor had himself a good laugh over the UFC 310 co-main after welterweight champion Belal Muhammad had some trouble getting into the cage to face off against Shavkat Rakhmonov.

Rakhmonov was coming off a 48-47 win over Ian Machado Garry, who proved to be a tougher challenge for “Nomad” than many expected him to be.

“Very good fight! Well done Ian, future is right,” McGregor tweeted on X after their back and forth battle.

That was a quick, classy message supporting a fellow Irish athlete. But “The Notorious” didn’t leave it at that. When Joe Rogan called for security to let the Muhammad into the cage, McGregor added a clearly intoxicated X Voice post with manic laughter mocking the 170 pound champ.

“The security doesn’t know he’s the champ?!” McGregor screamed. “Look at the state of this one. The security doesn’t know he’s the champ! I’m not surprised, motherf—er! Aah, mate! He is an a—hole.”

“Shut your mouth you little dope, you barely got into the ring!” he continued. “They don’t even know you’re the champion! Who’s this f—ing guy? Who da f— is that guy, the security said, yeah?”

McGregor and Muhammad have gone back and forth several times on social media, so we’re not surprised that the Irish sports star would mock Muhammad. He doesn’t exactly come off sounding good though. It’s 6 a.m. in Ireland and the Mac is clearly toasted.

He’s coming off a guilty verdict in a civil 𝑠e𝑥ual assault trial, but he’s not letting that stop him from continuing to do what he’s been doing for the last two years: yap from the sidelines at the fighters that are actually competing.

In his mind McGregor sees himself as a potential future opponent for Belal or Shavkat, who he labelled ‘2 bums’ in his tweet. He couldn’t be further away from that, and his current state shows how serious he is about focusing on his return to the cage.
