Belal Muhammad has accused Conor McGregor of wanting to compete in The Ultimate Fighter to "stay relevant".
McGregor is expected to return to action this year having successfully continued his recovery from a broken leg injury he suffered in defeat by Dustin Poirier in July 2021. The Irishman is expected to have numerous offers on the table from a range of opponents having announced his intentions to return at 170lb in a quest for a title in a third weight class.
This week, McGregor confirmed in a statement he has been offered the chance to be a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, which is a series where a high-profile character takes on another on the roster by forming their own respective teams. The 34-year-old has already competed on the show once in 2015 prior to his first UFC title win, where he went up against Urijah Faber.
