Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor has made serious accusations against his longtime rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, in light of recent media reports. These reports claim that a terrorist killed in Dagestan was a member of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's gym.

Posting to his X account, McGregor wrote:

"In the terrorists' gym when a tester showed up they would hold him hostage and give a random clean person's urine instead of the fighters they were looking to test. All will come out now. When this comes down on top of them watch what surfaces. There is a video of Khabib walking into a premise full of people and smashing it up entirely with a bat, threatening all those inside. All will come out. Mystic Mac."

In another message, McGregor expressed regret about giving Nurmagomedov an advantage by entering their fight with a broken foot.

McGregor, who last fought in July 2021 at UFC 264, where he lost to Dustin Poirier by technical knockout in the first round, holds a record of 22 wins and six losses.
