Conor has been doing a lot of tweet/deletes over the past several months.
Meanwhile, McGregor has been lobbying for a rematch with Khabib, though it is expected that this fight may not take place until 2020 at the earliest
But before he fights Nurmagomedov, Conor needs to first line up another fight.
Moreover, UFC President Dana White even vowed to handle the matter internally.
Dana stated:
I’m aware of the recent social media exchange between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The ongoing situation has escalated to a level that is unacceptable. As such, we are taking the necessary steps to reach out to both athlete camps and this situation is being addressed by all parties internally.
Conor has had an interesting past 2 years being arrested and blowing off the handle. Though he wants to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov but he wants to throw down with Floyd Mayweather in the ring.
