Conor McGregor is the wealthiest fighter in the history of MMA.
But even when he’s “wiping his rich ass with your feelings,” the 36 year-old Irishman is still haunted by his loss to former UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov. More than six years after getting destroyed by “The Eagle,” McGregor is still ranting about Nurmagomedov on social media.
And spitting on fans who dare to speak his name.
“Did Khabib Nurmagomedov give Conor McGregor PTSD and ruin his life? Is that what’s happening,” retired UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen, speculated on YouTube. “Envy and jealousy are very real things. Conor McGregor has lashed out in ways at Khabib. The test is to measure whether the things you said after were hotter or were they cooler than the things you said before. Conor McGregor was very aggressive toward Khabib, placed in handcuffs and had to go before a magistrate. The bus incident.”
McGregor attacked a Brooklyn transport bus carrying several UFC fighters, including Nurmagomedov, during a 2018 ambush that resulted in multiple injuries, a costly lawsuit, and handcuffs for the hot-headed ex-champion.
“I would still argue, particularly verbally, that even the words Conor McGregor was throwing as he’s assaulting and the dolly and the whole [bus] incident were not as provocative as the things that he’s saying now,” Sonnen continued. “Conor McGregor deleted some of it, many times. Many times he’s gone out on a coke or booze binge or whatever you call it at three in the morning and woken up at 8am and deleted the things he said. Racial epitaphs and things about family.”

McGregor has not competed in nearly four years and continues to find himself on the hot seat, thanks to a series of public incidents that cast a long shadow over his combat sports legacy. “Notorious” is expected to make his UFC return at some point later this year.
Assuming it doesn’t interfere with his latest court case.
