The MMA world is familiar with the rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The bout between the two top UFC fighters took place at UFC 229. Any MMA fan would find it difficult to forget the day of the fight, as so much buildup went into it. The people from Ireland and Dagestan crossed their fingers for their favorite fighter to win. When the bout reached the fourth round, ‘The Eagle’ trapped the Irishman in a neck crank. McGregor, who felt like his head might explode at any moment, tapped out of the bout. Their rivalry didn’t end there. The two are often seen engaging in a verbal war against each other. Nonetheless, the verbal war is not always between the Dagestani and the Irish superstar.

Often, Nurmagomedov’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, mocks McGregor through social media. There were numerous times when Nurmagomedov’s manager and McGregor poked fun at each other in light of the rivalry between the former UFC champions. Now, once again, Abdelaziz insulted McGregor by calling him Nurmagomedov’s b*tch when he claimed himself as the “pound-for-pound king.”

It’s always easy for Conor McGregor to make headlines. Even after staying away from the UFC octagon, the Irishman was the center of attraction in the MMA world. Most of the time, the former UFC double-division champion’s tweets pave the way for controversies. Since McGregor is not someone who thinks about the consequences of his tweets, he often comes up with shocking things on Twitter.

 

Recently, McGregor mentioned himself as the pound-for-pound king. He tweeted, “I’m the pound for pound king forever.” After coming across the Irishman’s tweet, Nurmagomedov’s manager tweeted, “No NO you Khabib’s bi..cth  forever.” Abdelaziz clearly hated how McGregor considered him superior to every other MMA fighter.
