Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor have united to poke fun at Belal Muhammad.
On Saturday night, the welterweight champion had a front row seat to watch Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Garry battle it out for the chance to fight him next in the co-main event of Dana White's final pay-per-view show of the year.
After earning a decisive victory, Rakhmonov invited 'Remember The Name' into the UFC Octagon for a showdown ahead of their 2025 matchup.
However, something went wrong when security mistook him for an over-enthusiastic fan.

Nate Diaz laughs at Conor McGregor's UFC 310 reaction
Belal Muhammad's embarrassing moment was made worse by UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who alerted everyone in the T-Mobile Arena and those watching at home to what was happening by saying, “Security doesn't know he's the champion.”
Conor McGregor, who fought Nate Diaz twice in 2016, found Mohammed's unfortunate situation hilarious.
The former two-weight champion took to social media to mock him in a since-deleted ballot.
“Security doesn't know he's the champion, look at the state of this bastard. Security doesn't know he's the champion? I'm not surprised, motherfucker, he's a motherfucker,” McGregor said.
“Shut up you little fool, you barely got in the ring, they don't even know you were the champion you were fat. “Who the hell is that guy,” security said. Ah stop man, two a*** wipes, yeah.
On Tuesday, Diaz again shared footage of Mohammed's security speech, alongside McGregor's viral response.
The UFC legend added a crying laughing emoji to the video with the caption: “Conor McGregor is wild.”
Will Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor complete their trilogy?
Diaz shocked the world when he took on McGregor in a short-lived fight at UFC 196 in March 2016.
McGregor took revenge in August of the same year. 'Notorious' survived some setbacks to earn a majority decision victory before moving on to KO Eddie Alvarez and become the first fighter to hold two UFC titles simultaneously.
With the rivalry tied at 1-1, a trilogy fight seemed inevitable. Fans have been clamoring for it ever since, but eight years later, Diaz and McGregor haven't fought again as their careers have gone in different directions.
McGregor is expected to end his long layoff sometime in 2025 by fighting Michael Chandler.
Diaz left the UFC in 2023. Since then, he has gone 1-1 in boxing fights with Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal.
The Stockton, California native has always insisted he will one day return to the UFC to fight McGregor.
Only time will tell if the two MMA icons will ever settle their rivalry inside the UFC Octagon.
