McGregor criticizes Khabib

Former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor lashed out with another round of criticism at the promotion's former lightweight division champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"Is this guy still talking? Another press conference. You shit your pants in front of Cerrone. You ran away from him three times. Your father, rest his soul, couldn't believe how I smeared Cerrone. And you disrespecting the Cowboy and now Aldo? You were just running away. Shut your mouth.

"Another press conference? For what? You don't do anything. You didn't have the guts to go up against Cerrone. You ran from him, and now you're talking like a bitch. Aldo is a hundred times cooler than you," the Irishman tweeted, but later traditionally deleted the post.

Earlier Nurmagomedov said that the fight with Cerrone will not show the real level of the fighter, and with top opponents Conor looked like a "scared chicken".
