Former UFC champion in two weight categories, Conor MacGregor, did not disregard the latest attacks from his former rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. Earlier, the Russian compared the Irish with a jealous wife who constantly leaves, but always returns.
“Your wife is a towel, mate,” MacGregor wrote on Twitter, sticking with photos from Khabib’s wedding.
Russian manager Ali Abdul-Aziz immediately responded to Conor's message. He said that such things insult the family of Khabib and 1.5 billion Muslims around the world. It is worth adding that within 15 minutes after the publication MacGregor's tweet was deleted.
“Do not be afraid of rematch, you little quivering rat. You will only do what they say to you, as always,” added the Irishman.
Last October Nurmagomedov defeated MacGregor by a submission in the fourth round. After the fight, the Russian jumped over Octagon and provoked a fight with one of the Irish team members, which lead to riots in the hall and beyond. Later, Khabib repeatedly stated that the reason for such a reaction was Conor’s abusive behavior.
