Conor McGregor is back in the spotlight, but not for a fight. Instead, the former UFC champion stirred up fresh controversy with a heated social media rant aimed at longtime rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. The two have a bitter history dating back to their infamous UFC 229 clash, and McGregor’s latest outburst proves he hasn’t moved on.
A Rivalry That Won’t Die
McGregor and Nurmagomedov’s feud goes beyond their 2018 title fight, which saw Khabib dominate and secure a submission victory. The post-fight brawl that erupted between their teams only deepened their animosity, and even after Khabib retired in 2020, McGregor has continued to take shots at him.
McGregor’s latest rant included personal insults toward Khabib and his family, using inflammatory language while questioning the former champ’s decision to retire.
“15 minutes, I done Aldo 15 seconds. Show yo wife ngga. Show yo kids ngga.”
“Cousin fckin motherfckin hidin motherfcker. Show us you and your cousins’ kids together because we have kids here in Ireland that wanna smoke them in competition. Are they competing or what are you saying Ireland vs Dagestan? Where’s your offspring? We can’t wait to see them. The best of Dagestan offspring? Dagestan, what do we think? Is this true?”*
“Who’s next [because] fatso with the coach whistle won’t fight. Who the fck designated this fat btch as master father? Certainly not his own father, Abdulmanap. And they all know it in Dagestan. Dagestan [thinks] you are pssy lips for retiring. Real Dagestan is forever. You are laughed at behind your back in Dagestan. Lazy you are, they say. Fight me and make a $100 million and give it to the entire village of Dagestan! But you won’t, why? Fat lazy scared btch. Lazy fasto.”
Conor McGregor goes off on Khabib including use of the N word:
“Show yo wife n*gga. Show yo kids n*gga.
Cousin f*ckin motherf*ckin hidin motherf*cker.”He also reposted the photo calling Khabib’s wife a “towel” pic.twitter.com/UxhuKkri9P

McGregor’s Controversial Public Image
McGregor’s social media antics are nothing new. In recent years, he’s been involved in multiple legal issues, including allegations of sexual assault. Most recently, he was found liable for an alleged incident in Dublin, adding to a list of accusations that have followed him throughout his career.
Despite his troubles, McGregor remains a public figure. He has been spotted at high-profile events, including Donald Trump’s inauguration and NBA games. His ability to stay relevant, even without fighting, is a testament to his star power—but it also raises questions about where his career is headed.
Will McGregor Ever Fight Again?
McGregor hasn’t fought in nearly four years, and his last UFC victory dates back to 2020. With rumors swirling about a possible comeback, fans are left wondering whether he will ever step into the Octagon again or if he’ll remain on the sidelines, stirring controversy from afar.
For now, one thing is clear—McGregor’s words still pack a punch, even if his fists haven’t in a while.
