Top UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad is targeting a fight with Conor McGregor after declaring the Irishman to be "juiced up".
The No.5-ranked fighter in the division just defeated Vicente Luque to extend his unbeaten run to eight bouts, and is now looking for a massive money fight with the Irishman. Former two-weight world champion McGregor is plotting to return to the octagon at 170lb, and will likely need one fight before attempting to face Kamaru Usman for the title as planned.
And Muhammad believes that he could be that opponent, knowing that a win over McGregor even at this point in his career would catapult him to stardom. The Chicago native has had the odd social media back-and-forth with his Irish rival, and knows there's an interesting fight available that he can build.
