Conor McGregor drops multiple racial slurs in unhinged tirade against former UFC rival

Conor McGregor dropped multiple racial epithets in a Friday social media tirade against former opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov, the latest in a continued line of unhinged posting for the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion following his feud with fellow Irishman Paul Hughes.

After Hughes' majority decision loss to PFL champion Usman Nurmagomedov at PFL Dubai this past Saturday, footage surfaced of a brief interaction between Hughes and Nurmagomedov in the cage, which ignited a furious rant from McGregor. Nurmagomedov famously defeated McGregor via fourth-round submission in a 2018 title bout. On Friday, McGregor once again took to social media to insult Nurmagomedov in a series of since-deleted, expletive-filled X posts, using multiple racial slurs.
