“Wow zero knockdowns whatsoever,” McGregor tweeted.
As of this writing, Muhammad has yet to respond to McGregor’s tweet. He’s in Newark to help prepare UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev for UFC 302 this Saturday.
McGregor is looking to get back in the win column after losses in three of his last four fights. The skid includes back-to-back losses to Poirier in 2021.
Muhammad has earned wins over the likes of Gilbert Burns, Stephen Thompson, and Vicente Luque during his ongoing streak. He hasn’t lost since a defeat to Geoff Neal by unanimous decision in Jan. 2019.
While Muhammad isn’t well-known for his power, he’s showcased impressive grit and toughness during his UFC successes. During his 10-fight unbeaten streak, Muhammad has finished Takashi Sato and Sean Brady.
As McGregor and Muhammad prepare for their upcoming fights, they lead two of the top storylines in the welterweight division. If they’re both victorious in their upcoming bookings, a clash could be booked sooner rather than later.
