While recalling the incident, Muhammad reacted to the video with a three-word reaction. The reigning UFC welterweight champion wrote:
"Never gets old"
Muhammad faced Takashi Sato in the early prelims of UFC 242 and won by third-round submission.

Notably, this turned out to be the final victory of his UFC career, as he retired after two subsequent split decision losses.
When Kamaru Usman reacted to Conor McGregor's online rant against Belal Muhammad
Kamaru Usman was left in splits after watching Conor McGregor's online rant against Belal Muhammad. Right after Shavkat Rakhmonov defeated Ian Machado Garry at UFC 310, he called Muhammad into the octagon. As the welterweight champion approached the cage, security stopped him, prompting a hilarious reaction from McGregor online.
On the Pound for Pound podcast, Usman discussed the situation with Henry Cejudo. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' appreciated McGregor's comebacks and one-liners, saying:
"I know me and Conor has had our situation, I know me and Belal has had our situation, and Conor is going through a lot right now but we still can't forget that this guy has some of the best wittiest comeback and one liners in UFC histroy."
Addressing the ignorance of security regarding Muhammad at UFC 310, the former titleholder mocked the current champion, adding:
"What are we even doing when the security in the UFC event don't know you were champion? Oh my god."
