Khabib Nurmagomedov has shared his thoughts on the recent deleted tweet by Conor McGregor, which appeared to mock the passing of his father.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA) lost his father thirteen months ago due to complications stemming from the novel Coronavirus. It was a tragic loss for ‘The Eagle’ and one which promoted his decision to walk away from the sport.<\/p>\n

Since making his retirement official, Khabib Nurmagomedov has a successful transition to coaching, this while taking in a number of different fights. One of the fights the Russian star decided to make time for was July’s trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

After ‘The Diamond’ was able to defeat ‘Notorious’ for a second time at UFC 264, ‘The Eagle’ sent out the following reaction on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood always defeats evil, very happy for Dustin Poirier.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Those comments clearly did not sit well with Khabib’s arch nemesis in McGregor, as the Irishman tweeted and deleted<\/a> the following controversial rebuttal.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovid is good and father is evil?\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

McGregor was immediately put on blast for his remarks. After Khabib’s manager Ali Abdelaziz slammed the former two-division champion, Daniel Cormier was quick to follow<\/a> suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe absolutely crossed the line. I think when stuff like that is being said, it\u2019s a cry for help.”<\/em> Cormier said of McGregor’s deleted tweet. “Conor has all the money in the world, he has all the fame, but now when you start to dig at that level, it\u2019s like somebody needs to get to McGregor and help him to start to kind of re-shift his mind and his focus and get him back to a better place. It\u2019s unfortunate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most recently Khabib Nurmagomedov was asked to give his thoughts on Conor McGregor’s deleted tweet during a brief interview with TMZ Sports.<\/p>\n
