Khabib’s Manager, Marvin Vettori & Kelvin Gastelum Plan a Hit on Conor McGregor for Comments Against Beneil Dariush

UFC middleweights Marvin Vettori, Kelvin Gastelum, and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager ganged up on the UFC star Conor McGregor after he commented on one of the top lightweight contenders.

The former two-division champion Conor McGregor might be inactive in the UFC lightweight roster, but he is very active on social media. The Irishman keeps himself in the headlines with his controversial tweets.

And recently he did the same by tweeting about the number six lightweight contender Beneil Dariush. While taking a jibe at the grappling protégé, McGregor wrote, “Beneil Dariush is the biggest nobody in the company.”

However, ‘The Notorious’ was unaware that he was lighting a spark that will catch him in the fire. McGregor’s comments on Dariush didn’t sit well with his fellow UFC fighters and even non-fighters.

First, it was the former middleweight title challenger Marvin Vettori who launched a verbal attack on the Irishman. “What a b*tch @TheNotoriousMMA You couldn’t last 2 min with Beneil and that’s just a fact. You are scumbag, I hope to see you soon.” Vettori wrote while sharing MMA Fighting’s post on Twitter.

Following that, the middleweight contender, Kelvin Gastelum, also agreed with Vettori. He wrote, “Facts” in the comments section of the post.

Later, McGregor’s old rival and former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s manager Ali Abdelaziz also hopped on the thread. While taking a dig at the Irishman, Abdelaziz wrote, “I hop in with you @beneildariush will kill this punk.”

When will Conor McGregor make his UFC return?

The former UFC two-weight champion is going through a rough phase in his career. He is currently on a two-fight skid and also faced a leg injury in his last fight. However, McGregor has fully recovered and is eyeing a return to fighting.

‘The Notorious’ is also back to training and is preparing for his big return. But, the UFC star hasn’t given a timeline for his return. However, he is eyeing for a direct title fight on his comeback.

McGregor has expressed his interest in fighting the welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for his title. Although nothing is finalized yet, there is a high chance UFC will fix him either a title bout or a fight with the top contender for his comeback, as McGregor is the pay-per-view star of the promotion.
