Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov continue to go at each other in Twitter beef

Conor McGregor Khabib Nurmagomedov

Conor McGregor was surely paying attention to one fight that took place over the weekend at UFC 219.

Current number 2 UFC ranked lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov put on another impressive performance with his dominant win over Edson Barboza.

Early Monday, McGregor, the current UFC lightweight champion and Nurmagomedov went at each other on Twitter. McGregor tweeted “That Dagestani was dog shit the other night” and that Nurmagomedov “truly” needed to get on his knees and beg for them to fight. McGregor added that he has more business moves outside of the Octagon that will be starting up this year. With recently cashing in on his biggest payday with his fight against Floyd Mayweather, “The Notorious” is obviously in no rush to get back to competition in need of another paycheck. Khabib had a few fun responses and things continued on with the two firing shots at each other on social media.

Khabib put up a humorous animation video on social media that had fans from both sides talking.
