Conor McGregor personally attacked Khabib‘s wife — and seemingly mocked Muslim tradition — Tweeting a photo of the UFC champ and his bride … and calling her a “towel.”
McGregor went on a Twitter rampage Tuesday night … unleashed a fury of Tweets directed at Paulie Malignaggi — who slapped his good friend Artem Lobov earlier in the day — and Nurmagomedov.
“Don’t be scared of the rematch you little scurrying rat” … McGregor wrote.
Conor dug in, getting personal … posting 2 photos from Khabib’s wedding day — along with the caption, “Your wife is towel mate” — appearing to make fun of Khabib’s wife’s clothing.
Khabib and his wife are devout Muslims … and his manager Ali Abdelaziz took the insult as a direct slight at Khabib’s religion.
“Talking sh*t, this guy is insulting someone’s wife and making fun of her religion and belief. He doesn’t realize he’s insulting 1.5 billon Muslims. Religion and family is a no no. You’re fucked Connor, let’s see what the media is going to say now. He’s a rapist, and a bitch.”
Conor’s used racially and religiously charged rhetoric to sell fights and belittle fighters in the past … so it’s possible this entire incident is an attempt to goad Khabib into a rematch.
