Conor McGregor Takes Aim

Over the weekend, McGregor decided to add fuel to the fire by taking a shot at Nurmagomedov’s teammate Zubaira Tukhugov. The 27-year-old fighter is slated to take on McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov on October 27 at UFC Fight Night 138 in Moncton, New Brunswick.

In this post on his official Instagram account, he claimed that Tukhugov was in the process of treason. The reason for this is due to a true Chechen would never take orders from a Dagestani man. He wrote the following:

“A true Chechen would never assist in a Dagestani led attack on another Chechen. A true Chechen would never take orders from a Dagestani man. This is treason. There is no worse than treason.”
