Conor McGregor claims "fat bi**h" Khabib Nurmagomedov is "afraid" to fight again: "No wonder sh*t pants scurried"
More than four years have passed since Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov squared off inside the octagon in what was arguably one of the UFC's darkest rivalries. However, the animosity between the two is as strong as ever, and both camps continue to despise each other, even trading barbs on the internet on occasion.
Fight fans are aware of Conor McGregor's Twitter tirades, wherein he embarks on lengthy rants against fellow fighters, his competitors, and, most recently, USADA. In a profanity-laced tweet, 'The Notorious' lambasted Georges St-Pierre's coach Firas Zahabi and Khabib Nurmagomedov's coach Javier Mendez.
He concluded the lengthy tweet by claiming that his head coach, John Kavanagh, is revolutionizing the sport and that Straight Blast Gym is the best place to hone MMA skills.
Check out the tweet below:
Ali Abdelaziz, Nurmagomedov's manager, who has had lengthy exchanges with the Irishman in the past, slammed Conor McGregor for disrespecting prominent MMA coaches.

Conor McGregor is still seeking a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov to exact revenge for his fourth-round submission loss to the Dagestani. However, 'The Eagle' has since officially retired, and he no longer even corners his teammates.
McGregor responded to Abdelaziz's tweet by bringing up the time the Irishman took a private plane to get even with Nurmagomedov for slapping his teammate Artem Lobov. Referencing the infamous bus incident, McGregor wrote:
"Hey, sh*t stain on the game, I’m talking as of now it is beginning to bare fruit. We beat their system of fighting on TUF [The Ultimate Fighter]. It's locked down. It’s no wonder sh*t pants [Nurmagomedov] scurried. There’s no competing now. The head of the style is too fat a b**ch and afraid to compete again. So we win. You can’t compete with us. Watch and witness you rat ba**ard."

Conor McGregor sets enormous pay-per-view target for his UFC comeback
After a hiatus of more than two years, Conor McGregor is scheduled to return to the octagon later this year to fight Michael Chandler. McGregor foresees massive pay-per-view numbers for the prospective bout between the two rival coaches on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
Tensions allegedly flared during the shoot, and McGregor addressed those rumors in a recent interview with Robbie Foxx.
McGregor recently posted a bunch of images from his first faceoff against Chandler, and captioned the post:
"Millions and millions and millions of ppv buys."
