In the past, Khabib has taken offense to McGregor talking about his late father, wife, kids, and religion.

Now years later, it appears there is no love lost, as McGregor went off in a rant directed towards Khabib.
In a now deleted tweet, McGregor said, "Show yo wife n****. Show yo kids n****. Cousin f***in motherf***in hidin motherf***er."
Before then going on to spew a bunch more nonsense, which may have been said while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

McGregor also appeared to disrespect Khabib's wife, as he brought up an old tweet where he referred to her as a "towel," while also making comments about their arranged marriage.
Many fans were caught off guard with the array of racial slurs used by McGregor, and wonder why he is so upset over the fact the Dagestan fighter keeps a private life.

At the end of the message, it appeared McGregor even challenged Khabib to another fight, as he said: "Fight me and make a 100 million dollars and give it to the entire village of Dagestan!"
One fan responded, "We are witnessing the wildest crash out in UFC history."
I can’t wait for the UFC, Dana White & the mma media to condemn Conor McGregor for attacking Khabib Nurmagomedov’s family & using multiple racial slurs on Twitter
That’s on top of already being a civilly liable rapist

Their online beef has been escalating as of late. That is to say, earlier this month, Khabib was kicked off of a Frontier plane after a misunderstanding with a flight attendant. This led to McGregor responding to the news by following Frontier on Instagram.

Then just more recently, in the wake of Usman Nurmagomedov's fight with Paul Hughes, Khabib took a jab at McGregor when he posted on his IG story.
Khabib wrote: "You are a real Irishman Paul Hughes, and not a r*pist and drug addict like this bastard [Conor McGregor]."
