Yesterday McGregor certainly managed to keep himself in the headlines and steadily pump out publicity entirely unrelated to the rape charges he’s facing in Ireland stemming from a December alleged sexual assault.
In his attempt to churn out headlines and make his legal woes a thing of the past Irish fighter once again appears to have crossed the line – this time posting and promptly deleting the following:
Of course towel head is a slur – A derogatory term for one of Middle Eastern descent. It comes from their custom of wearing a turban.
“I don’t think he’s finished,” Nurmagomedov said. He added, “Conor acts like a jealous wife who says ‘I will leave’ all the time but then comes back.”
Khabib’s manager was first to react:
Talking shit, 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.

Since then Khabib has also fired back tweeting a graphic image of McGregor seemingly cheating on his longtime partner Dee Devlin:
Rapist, you are Rapist.
You are a hypocrite who is not responsible for your actions. Justice will find you.

Dana White even got involved:
