Conor McGregor’s war of words on Khabib Nurmagomedov has been unrelenting. ‘The Notorious’ has spared no one, be it Nurmagomedov’s manager, teammates, or anyone in between. The most recent victim of McGregor’s tweets was the former heavyweight champion of the world, Daniel Cormier. 

‘DC’ is covering UFC 265 as a play-by-play commentator. McGregor posted a picture of Cormier doing his duties with the caption, “A Cry for help if I ever seen one”, seemingly hitting out at Cormier for his recent comments. 

McGregor made a few ill-advised comments regarding COVID and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father, Abdulmanap. McGregor put out a tweet that said “Covid is good and father is evil?” This was in response to ‘The Eagle’s’ tweet following the result at UFC 264.
