McGregor posted on social media to insult former opponent and fellow ex-UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, his family and his culture. The post included multiple racial epithets for Black people.

Former two-division UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen has broken down exactly how Khabib Nurmagomedov 'ruined the life' of Irish superstar Conor McGregor. McGregor and Khabib headlined the most successful UFC pay-per-view event of all time when they met at UFC 229 in October 2018.

Recently, Conor McGregor had a heated encounter with a fan who tried to mock the Irish superstar with a chant related to one of his biggest rivals in the UFC. The fan seemed to be chanting the name of Khabib Nurmagomedov, who has been McGregor's bitter rival in the past.
