Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor continues to take shots at Khabib Nurmagomedov. Both the fighters are former champions. They have been at the top of the division for a long time. The beef between the two began a long time back, and it has never stopped.

The rivalry started when McGregor fought for the title in 2016, while ‘The Eagle’ was the top challenger. Nurmagomedov and McGregor then went on to compete in one of the biggest fights in UFC history . The duo also had a brief exchange backstage during the UFC 205 event.

The Duo was constantly vocal about their feelings toward each other. Even before the fight between them was set for UFC 229, the rivalry between them was at its peak. But many fans believe that the Irish fighter, on various occasions, crossed the limit with his comments.

In one of his tweet and delete incidents, Conor McGregor made bizarre comments about Nurmagomedov’s family. McGregor replied to the video in which the Russian fighter was reacting to McGregor’s comments on the death of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. In the tweet, ‘Notorious’ made the reference to Mike Tyson’s infamous ‘I wanna eat his children’ statement.

“I wanna eat his children!!!! When’s the last time he’s even seen them actually? His wife? Mother? How bout you go spend some time with your kids and family for a change and keep my name out of your mouth before you get trapped somewhere again you mightn’t be so lucky next time.” McGregor tweeted and then later deleted it.
