Khabib Nurmagomedov has zero persistence for Conor McGregor.
The newest verbal volley between the 2 took place on account of McGregor beginning a recent feud with fellow Irishman Paul Hughes. Hughes misplaced a majority determination to light-weight champion Usman Nurmagomedov at PFL Dubai this previous weekend after a spirited five-round contest, a efficiency that originally drew reward from McGregor.
Nevertheless, McGregor turned on Hughes after seeing footage of Hughes seemingly slighting him in a post-fight chat with Khabib, prompting “The Infamous” to put in writing a collection of later-deleted tweets insulting Hughes and his Northern Irish heritage. Hughes coolly dismissed McGregor’s feedback and now Khabib has weighed in with a significantly much less tactful response.

“You’re a actual Irishman [Hughes] and never a rapist and drug addict like this bastard,” Nurmagomedov wrote through Instagram Tales.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor have an extended historical past, with a heated feud that culminated within the two combating at UFC 229 in October 2018. On that evening, Nurmagomedov efficiently defended his light-weight title with a fourth-round submission of McGregor, then sparked a post-fight brawl by attacking McGregor’s cornerman Dillon Danis. The incident resulted in McGregor, Nurmagomedov, and several other different fighters receiving suspensions and fines.
McGregor is prone to reply on social media, although he’s accomplished little precise combating lately.

He’s made headlines for all of the improper causes lately, being discovered chargeable for sexual assault in a civil swimsuit tied to a 2018 incident in Dublin, and he’s presently dealing with one other civil swimsuit stemming from an alleged sexual assault at a Miami Warmth recreation in 2023.
