Conor McGregor and Tyson Fury are regarded as the best of friends in the combat sports space. The duo have gone out applauding each other publically, thus sending a loud message about their bond. However, ‘The Gypsy King’ recently did something which didn’t impress the Irishman.

Fury is an avid follower of MMA and, particularly, the UFC. That said, he never fails to comment about his favorite fighters and cheer them for their achievements. Accordingly, Fury came up with a tweet for Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor’s arch-rival.

Sharing a picture of him, Fury wrote some sublime words for the former UFC lightweight champ. “This man did it right. Got it & won & got out on top. Big respect @TeamKhabib” 

McGregor was staggered with these comments and he ended up taking it to Twitter to hit at the WBC champ.

In this above tweet, ‘The Notorious’ jibed at Fury over one controversial point that happened last year. In May 2021, Fury was in the AT&T Stadium for Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders fight. Throughout the fight week, he remained with compatriot Saunders and cheered him for his big outing.

However, Saunders succumbed to a terrifying loss that night and even ended up with a swollen right eye. Citing his condition, ‘Superb’s father, Tom Saunders, attempted to dodge the security to go and check his son.

In return, the security personnel pushed him in full force and a brawl erupt in no time. All of this happened in front of Fury‘s eyes, and a lot of purists and fans lashed out at him for not saving Tom Saunders.
