Conor McGregor again takes aim at Khabib Nurmagomedov amid tax issue: ‘He betrayed and fled Russia’

and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s rivalry is alive and well as the Irishman took aim at ‘The Eagle’ in a deleted tweet.

McGregor quote tweeted an ESPN tweet from 2018 about Nurmagomedov saying he’ll leave the UFC if they get rid of his teammates. Out of nowhere, the Irishman responded to it and claimed Nurmagomedov had since left his wife, and he sent out a tweet which he quickly deleted, but it was captured by Spinnin Backfist.

“Fast forward he has since abandoned, betrayed, and fled Russia entirely. Leaving his children and mother and wife/cousin behind,” Conor McGregor wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
