- Conor McGregor has reignited his feud with Khabib Nurmagomedov recently
- He has now spat in the face of a fan who showed support for Khabib
Conor McGregor has been filmed spitting in the face of a member of the public who showed their support for his bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor, 36, reignited his never-ending feud with Khabib last week when he used racial slurs in social media posts attacking the former UFC lightweight champion, who beat him by submission in their grudge match at UFC 229 back in 2018.
The Irish star subsequently deleted his posts, but made it clear that there remains no love lost with the Dagestani grappler. Now, footage has emerged of him spitting in a man’s face after being goaded over his rivalry with Khabib.
McGregor is seen walking through what appears to be a shopping mall as a man shouts out ‘Let’s go Khabib!’
McGregor quickly turned around and confronted the man before spitting at him from point-blank range.
He then walked away and looked at the man in disgust as he angrily muttered: ‘I spit in your face. What you do? Nothing.’

McGregor and Khabib’s rivalry has already lasted seven years, and there is no indication that it will end any time soon.
It came to a head again in the early stages of last week after Derry MMA star Paul Hughes fought Khabib’s cousin Usman in a world title fight in Dubai.
McGregor was left angry that Hughes distanced himself from him after the clash, as he was spotted telling Khabib and Co: ‘I’m not like this other guy, I’m my own man,’ seemingly in reference to McGregor.
Following that, McGregor targeted Hughes regarding his Irish identity as he wrote on X: ‘Get that flag off you you little know what you are **** from up there,’ before swiftly deleting the message.
Hughes responded: ‘Always said u were the goat, paid homage at every opportunity. But coming for my Irish identity just shows where you head is at.’
McGregor then switched his focus to Khabib and in a series of offensive posts he subsequently deleted he first referenced a tweet he posted in 2019 in which he told the devout Muslim: ‘Your wife is a towel mate.’
McGregor then hit out in a rant which included racial slurs and also referenced Khabib’s father, who passed away in 2020.
McGregor wrote: ’15 minutes I done aldo 15 seconds.
‘Show yo wife n****. Show yo kids n****.
‘Cousin f***** motherf***** hidin mother******. Show us you and your cousins kids together because we have kids here in Ireland that wanna smoke them in competition.
‘Are they competing or what are you saying Ireland vs Dagestan? Where’s your offspring, we cant wait to see them . The best of Dagestan offspring ? Dagestan, what do we think? Is this true?

‘Who’s next cos fatso with the coach whistle won’t fight. Who the f*** designated this fat b**** as master father? Certainly not his own father. Abdulmanap.
‘And they all know it in Dagestan. Dagestan think you are p**** lips for retiring. Real Dagestan is forever.
‘You are laughed at behind your back in Dagestan. Lazy you are, they say. Fight me and make a 100 million dollars and give it to the entire village of Dagestan! But you won’t, why? Fat lazy scared b****. Lazy fasto.’
McGregor subsequently deleted his post.
