Former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor may be playing up a potential February return against the surging, Dan Hooker, however, the outspoken Dubliner has now switched focus to Belal Muhammad — claiming he would “cave his skull” if they ever shared the Octagon.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight gold holder and featherweight titleholder under the banner of the UFC, was ruled from a hiatus-snapping return earlier this summer, with a fractured toe forcing his exit from a UFC 303 welterweight headliner against Michael Chandler.
And sidelined since he fractured his left tibia and fibula back in 2021, McGregor suffered a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO defeat to Dustin Poirier in their heated trilogy rubber match.
