Earlier this week former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor went on an epic Twitter rant. He put the entire division on notice. He called out the newly crowned interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje and blasted current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
In a series of tweets that he sent out on Monday, he slammed Gaethje for wanting to fight for the title next. He took a dig at the Russian by stating that Khabib ‘hugs legs’, which implies his excessive use of the takedowns.
Justin, there is no danger in a man that hugs legs, we all know. Try and dance around what the real threat is here all you want.
I am going to fucking butcher you.
Your teeth. I’m going to put them on a fucking necklace.
Speak on my skills as a father?
You are fucking dead.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 11, 2020
“Justin, there is no danger in a man that hugs legs, we all know. Try and dance around what the real threat is here all you want. I am going to fucking butcher you. Your teeth. I’m going to put them on a fucking necklace. Speak on my skills as a father? You are fucking dead,” Conor tweeted.
Then McGregor started tweeting mean insults at Khabib Nurmagomedov by calling him a ‘scurring rat’. He then said that the Russian was an embarrassment to real fighting.
“Khabib you absolute embarrassment. Scurrying, hiding rat as usual. As I have said many times. As has been seen many times. Through the pane of glass, it was confirmed what was always known. “No comment” lol. An embarrassment to real fighting,” McGregor tweeted doubling down on the lightweight champion.

He fired back with shots of his own and emphasized on the fact that he had beaten McGregor in his own game. In their title fight back i2018, Khabib out grappled the Irishmen and even managed to knock him down with his overhand right.
Hug legs? Have you forgot how I knock you down, or you typing tweets drunk? Beat you in striking, parts you up in wrestling, absolutely destroy you in grappling, Made you grab air with your hands, and at the end you gave up. last one, don’t forget your words ‘it’s only business’

McGregor then replied back with a picture of Khabib with his cousins in a bathtub.
“Yes, hug legs,” he wrote. “Hug legs and bathe in tiny bathtubs with groups of men, while touching their legs.”
The Irishmen then took a dig at Khabib’s country and the fact that homosexuals are condemned and attacked.
“What the f*ck is going on here?” the UFC star said in a tweet that has now been deleted “How can this country condemn/punish homosexuals, yet lock their wives and children away, and engage solely in this type of activity. Male only. It’s quite bizarre.”
