Nate Diaz puts Conor McGregor rivalry aside to laugh at embarrassingly awkward moment from UFC 310
Yesterday at 08:04 AM
Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor have united to poke fun at Belal Muhammad.
On Saturday night, the welterweight champion was sitting in the front row to watch Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Garry battle for the chance to fight him next during the co-main event of Dana White's final pay-per-view show of the year.
After he edged out a decision victory, Rakhmonov invited 'Remember The Name' into the UFC Octagon for a face-off ahead of their clash in 2025.
However, things went wrong when security mistook him for an overexcited fan.
Nate Diaz laughs at Conor McGregor’s UFC 310 reaction
Belal Muhammad‘s embarrassing moment was made worse by UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who pointed out what was happening to everyone in the T-Mobile Arena and those watching at home by saying: 'Security doesn't know he's the champ'.
Conor McGregor, who fought Nate Diaz twice in 2016, found Muhammad’s unfortunate situation hilarious.
The former dual-weight champion took to social media to mock him in a since-deleted voice note.
"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," McGregor said.
"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."
On Tuesday, Diaz reshared footage of Muhammad’s security snub alongside McGregor’s viral reaction.
The UFC legend added a crying laughing emoji to the video titled: “Conor McGregor is wild.”
Will Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor complete their trilogy?
Diaz shocked the world when he submitted McGregor in a short-notice fight at UFC 196 in March 2016.
McGregor got his revenge in August of the same year. ‘Notorious’ survived some moments of adversity to pick up a majority decision victory before going on the KO Eddie Alvarez to become the first fighter to hold two UFC titles at once.
With the rivalry tied at 1-1, a trilogy bout seemed inevitable. Fans have been clamoring for it ever since, but eight years later Diaz and McGregor haven’t fought again as their careers have gone in different directions.
McGregor is expected to end his lengthy layoff by fighting Michael Chandler at some point in 2025.
Diaz left the UFC in 2023. Since then, he’s gone 1-1 in boxing bouts with Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal.
The Stockton, California native has always insisted that he will one day return to the UFC to fight McGregor.
Only time will tell if the two MMA icons will ever settle their rivalry inside the UFC Octagon.
