Replying to Khabib’s response, where he quoted Conor as a “jealous wife,” Conor took it to a whole new level. He took to the social media platform and shared a picture of the Russian star with his wife. Along with that, he wrote, “Your wife is a towel mate.”

He posted a picture of McGregor with a girl and, after making some serious allegations, he wrote, “You are a hypocrite who is not responsible for your actions. Justice will find you. We will see @The NotoriousMMA.”
