In a series of spite-filled tweets which have since been deleted, McGregor dragged up Khabib’s words from the aftermath of the Irishman’s defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 earlier this month.
At the time, the retired Russian star had tweeted “good always defeats evil” as he expressed his joy that Poirier had beaten McGregor, whose night ended in excruciating fashion when he snapped his lower left leg.
Clearly still simmering, McGregor has now flashed back with a barb that many felt crossed the line.
“Covid is good and father is evil?” asked the Notorious in a tweet which appeared to refer to Khabib’s late father and trainer Abdulmanap, who died of complications stemming from a coronavirus infection last year.
