Conor McGregor took aim at rival Khabib Nurmagomedov in a since-deleted tweet. It’s 2018; it’s 2020! No, it’s 2023…It’s a year later, and ‘Mystic Mac’ is back at it again. This time, it refers as far back as their rivalry during the October pay-per-view event of UFC 229 six years back. UFC 229 drew an attendance of 20,034, generating a live gate of $17.2 million.
Galluping at 2.4 million domestic buyouts, it was one for ages. However, the spectacular event was marred by a post-fight brawl from both their corners. In a hilarious turn of events, the undefeated Russian leaped over the bounds to charge at McGregor’s entourage. Now, McGregor snapped at the Dagestani legend for allegedly leaving his family behind due to tax problems.
Fast forward he has since abandoned, betrayed, and fled Russia entirely. Leaving his children and mother and wife/cousin behind

What ensued was an adrenaline-fueled frenzy; now, the Dubliner takes to X to stir the pot on a tweet the Dagestani made back in 2018. After the dust settled from the infamous post-fight brawl, top brass threatened to terminate one of Khabib’s teammates and entourage. Nurmagomedov himself threatened to cut ties if it happened. Now, Conor McGregor questions his loyalty to his family and close ones.
According to a report by mma.metarating.ru/MASH, ‘The Eagle’ reportedly owed $3.3 million in taxes to the Federal Tax Service. Additionally, with one-time fighter Ghadzimurad Kagirov having links to his Eagles MMA before a recent terror attack, Nurmagomedov’s accounts were seized. Pinned for being away from home and such happenings, McGregor thus takes a yet another diss at his defunct loyalty.

His issues with Khabib, at this point, transcend any given logic. McGregor once even insulted his wife as well. A devout Muslim, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s culture does not allow them to publicize their women. The SBG Ireland fighter posted an image of Khabib with his veiled wife before calling her a towel.
The twitter jabs continue as Conor McGregor brands Khabib’s wife a “towel” in relation to her religious clothing.
This comes after he releases a tyrant of compromising photos from his sparring session with Paulie Malignaggi.

Whether it’s COVID-19, taxes, terrorist attacks, or failed drug tests, McGregor won’t hesitate to drag his Dagestani rival with him. At this point, their rivalry does not maintain reason or timeline. It’s just a burning ember that goes on and on.
