Conor McGregor draws on Elle Brooke's impressive knockdown of ex-UFC fighter to taunt Belal Muhammad

Conor McGregor re-posted a meme mocking Belal Muhammad's lack of knockdowns in the UFC.

Last weekend featured the latest Misfits Boxing event, MF & DAZN X Series 15, headlined by Elle Brooke vs. Paige VanZant. The five-round boxing match may have ended by split decision draw, but the most significant highlight featured Brooke, an NSFW content creator, knocking down VanZant, a former UFC fighter, in the opening frame.

Earlier today, McGregor took to X and posted an image referencing Brooke knocking down VanZant. The image featured the following caption:

"Insane fact: Onlyf*ns girl Elle Brooke has knocked down more UFC fighters than Belal Muhammad"

McGregor added the following message while re-posting the meme:

"Wow zero knockdowns whatsoever"

Muhammad has fought under the UFC banner 18 times, leading to a promotional record of 14-3 (one no-contest). As referenced above, 'Remember The Name' has not secured any knockdowns. Nonetheless, he's riding a nine-fight win streak, including his last two against Sean Brady and Gilbert Burns.

Belal Muhammad and Conor McGregor look to silence the doubters in upcoming octagon appearances

On July 27, Belal Muhammad will finally fight for the UFC welterweight title when he meets Leon Edwards in the UFC 304 main event. They first fought in March 2021 when Edwards accidentally landed an eye poke in round two, leading to a no-contest after Muhammad was unable to recover.

Muhammad has been overlooked by many fans, analysts, and fighters over the years. Luckily for him, he can silence the doubters and solidify his legacy by defeating Edwards to become a UFC champion.

Meanwhile, Conor McGregor will end a three-year layoff when he faces Michael Chandler in the UFC 303 main event on June 29. McGregor's last win was a 40-second knockout win against Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone in January 2020.

There have been questions about how much gas is left in the tank. With a win against Chandler, the former two-division UFC champion would temporarily silence the calls for retirement and prove he's fully recovered from his gruesome leg injury suffered against Dustin Poirier in his last octagon appearance (July 2021).
