UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad blasted the likes of Conor McGregor and Jake Paul for “kicking a guy when he’s down”, specifically for taking aim at Kamaru Usman over his shocking knockout loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 278. McGregor Tweeted “Mi no lika the boi no sleep dem man hahahaha twat got twatted” in response to the knockout, which raised Muhammad’s ire in an episode of The Fighter vs The Writer.
“When you’re seeing guys like that, even Conor McGregor, you know how it feels to lose in a championship fight. You know how it feels to lose in front of your family. Just seeing Usman’s daughter there and how she broke down. It’s heartbreaking and you know what it takes to get in there if you’re Conor McGregor.
Belal Muhammad Blasts “Pathetic” McGregor, Jake Paul
But if you’re Jake Paul, you don’t know what it is to get be in there, you don’t know what it takes to get in there. These guys that kick the guy when they’re down, it just shows what kind of person they are. They’re just looking for that attention. Conor McGregor’s looking for that attention. Jake Paul’s looking for that attention. Jake Paul is just trying to change the narrative.
He’s a guy that’s like, ‘Oh I can sell a million pay-per-views, oh this guy didn’t want to fight me at 185,’ so his whole show got cancelled because he’s not as big a draw as he thinks he is.
It didn’t sell out. I think it was ticket sales [why it was cancelled]. He can come up with any excuse he wants, but it shows this guy is a straight up loser and the fact that he’s kicking a guy when he’s down like that, it tells you more about them but that’s the world we live in now.”
Muhammad lamented the “troll world” and warned that this behavior would come back to haunt McGregor and Paul.
“We live in a troll world, we live in a Twitter world where these people think they can say whatever they want because they’re not in front of you and they know nothing will happen to them.
It just gives other trolls, losers, kids nowadays will create fake accounts where they will say the stupidest things to somebody and there’s a million memes out there but it’s like karma always comes back to you.
It’s going to come back to all these people, especially a guy like Conor McGregor, who, literally, you haven’t won a fight in five years. All you do is tweet when a big fight card is coming up because you can have all the money in the world but you don’t have the attention and that’s what you crave the most.
You don’t have anybody screaming your name anymore and that’s what you want the most. It’s kind of pathetic where these guys are now.” Is Belal Muhammad right about McGregor’s Twitter antics? Let us know in the comments.
