Khamzat Chimaev has vowed to smash Conor McGregor after the Irishman took aim at his “big brother” on Christmas evening.

After announcing that he is expecting his third child with Dee Devlin on Christmas morning, McGregor later went from cheer to jeer by attacking Ali Abdelaziz on social media.

Conor and Ali have a long and bitter history, having engaged in a ton previous feuds ahead of and following the Irishman’s fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Conor McGregor’s recent jabs at Abdelaziz, which were later deleted, did not sit well with Khamzat Chimaev.

The undefeated fighter, who like Khabib is also managed by Abdelaziz, took to Twitter where he vowed to smash the Irish star for taunting his “big brother” on Christmas.

Chimaev (9-0 MMA) is slated to return to the Octagon at next months UFC Fight Night 185 event for a welterweight showdown with Leon Edwards. If ‘Borz’ can prove victorious against ‘Rocky’ on January 21, he will find himself on the cusp of a UFC title shot.
