Conor McGregor drops multiple racial slurs in unhinged tirade against former UFC rival
Conor McGregor dropped multiple racial epithets in a Friday social-media tirade against former rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, the latest in a continued line of unhinged posting from the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion following his feud with fellow Irishman Paul Hughes.
After Hughes' majority decision loss to PFL champion Usman Nurmagomedov at PFL Dubai this past Saturday, footage surfaced of a brief interaction between Hughes and Nurmagomedov in the cage, which ignited a furious rant from McGregor. Khabib Nurmagomedov famously defeated McGregor rather easily via fourth-round submission in a 2018 title bout. On Friday, McGregor once again took to social media to insult Khabib Nurmagomedov in a series of since-deleted, expletive-filled X posts, using multiple racial slurs.
“15 minutes I done aldo 15 seconds. Show yo wife n****. Show yo kids n****. Cousin f***in motherf***in hidin motherf***er. Show us you and your cousins kids together because we have kids here in Ireland that wanna smoke them in competition. Are they competing or what are you saying Ireland vs Dagestan? Where’s your offspring, we cant wait to see them. The best of Dagestan offspring? Dagestan, what do we think? Is this true? Who’s next [because] fatso with the coach whistle won’t fight. Who the f*** designated this fat b**** as master father? Certainly not his own father. Abdulmanap. And they all know it in Dagestan. Dagestan think you are p**** lips for retiring. Real Dagestan is forever. You are laughed at behind your back in Dagestan. Lazy you are, they say. Fight me and make a 100 million dollars and give it to the entire village of Dagestan! But you won’t, why? Fat lazy scared b****. Lazy fasto.”
McGregor's outburst comes just one day after UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell drew widespread condemnation for his statements that Adolf Hitler "was a good guy." UFC CEO Dana White addressed the remarks on Thursday, stating that he and the UFC are "disgusted."
"I've heard a lot of dumb, ignorant s*** in my day, but this one's probably the worst," White said.
White noted that Mitchell won't face repercussions from the UFC, citing "free speech" and stating: "Those who hate Bryce Mitchell, you get to see him hopefully get his ass whooped on global television."
In addition to his vulgar post toward Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor also chimed in Friday with words of support to Mitchell, backing the American as "a good man" in another since-deleted X post.
"Saying a prayer for my God-fearing brother Bryce Mitchell tonight, who I know is a good man. Let this be acknowledgement/confirmation of the rise in antisemitic commentary, as well as all sorts of other bulls***, phobic, racist commentary, that spreads feverishly and instantly across the world wide web where we, as curious beings, are brainwashed into all sorts of thinking. For what ? For one reason and one reason only. Human division. We say NO!
"All Nations and their people deserve freedom! Humans under God deserve Peace and Freedom and I, like Jesus did for us, would give my heart, body and soul for it! From Palestine to Jerusalem, Israel to Ukraine, Germany to Africa! Russia to Ireland to England to America to Iran. Egypt. Sweden! FREEDOM! Peace in the mother f***ing world because F*** THESE ROBOTS, WE ARE HUMAN! HUMANS UNDER GOD FOR THE WIN! GOD SAYS DON'T HARM HIS CHILDREN SO NOW NEVER NO MORE! Please God, earth! Let’s go! We have got this! PEACE PEACE FROM, THE CHAMP CHAMP."
McGregor has not fought since he suffered a first-round loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
He was found liable for a 2018 sexual assault this past November and currently faces a new sexual assault lawsuit stemming from an alleged 2023 incident in Miami.
