Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn’t usually post on social media, but he made an exception to share his thoughts on Conor McGregor’s recent court loss. The two have a long history of feuding, with McGregor making personal attacks against Khabib’s family, even after the death of Khabib’s father. Things escalated when Khabib’s team confronted McGregor’s friend Artem Lobov, which led to the infamous bus incident at Madison Square Garden.
Now, with McGregor facing a guilty verdict in a civil court case, Khabib seems to be responding in his own way by promoting a new cryptocurrency. The coin claims to support the victims of McGregor, adding an unusual twist to Khabib’s reaction to McGregor’s legal troubles.
“Good job guys, you have my full support,” Khabib Nurmagomedov wrote on X (formerly Twitter) to show support for the Convict McGregor account. “This guy deserve punishment.”

You are a hypocrite who is not responsible for your actions. Justice will find you.

Not only did Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor’s former rival, react to the news, but Dustin Poirier, who has never had the best relationship with McGregor, also responded to the news.
Dustin Poirier shared a fan’s tweet that expressed gratitude for him defeating McGregor in their previous fight.

McGregor hasn’t stepped into the octagon for over three years after suffering a broken leg in his third fight against Poirier in July 2021. He was set to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June, but had to back out due to a toe injury.
McGregor plans to appeal the decision and get back to training for his next fight. However, UFC President Dana White previously stated that he doesn’t expect McGregor to return to the cage until the end of 2025.
