When Brittney Palmer approved of Conor McGregor's cheeky meme in response to Khabib Nurmagomedov dissing UFC ring girls
Conor McGregor's cheeky meme in response to Khabib Nurmagomedov's controversial remarks about ring girls was approved by longtime UFC ring girl Brittney Palmer.
Back in 2021, Khabib Nurmagomedov gave his take on ring girls, claiming that they are the "most useless people in martial arts." At a press conference in Russia, the former UFC lightweight champion said:
“Look, I don’t want to offend anyone: Ring girls are the most useless people in martial arts. What is their function? I have a question. You can show that it is the second round on the screen."

Khabib Nurmagomedov's comments were met with a lot of criticism by the MMA community and also his former opponent Conor McGregor. McGregor posted a meme poking fun at Nurmagomedov, featuring UFC ring girls Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste.
Palmer seemingly approved of the meme posted by 'The Notorious'. Replying to the Irishman's tweet, she wrote:
"Hahahah sorry not sorry!"
