Conor McGregor erupts in angry rant after Donald Trump reveals his favorite UFC fighter

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: In a recent livestream with Kick streamer Adin Ross, former president Donald Trump revealed his favorite UFC fighter, sparking a fiery response from Conor McGregor.

Trump named Khabib Nurmagomedov as his top pick, prompting McGregor to unleash a scathing tweet against his longtime rival, as reported by Marca.

It appears that McGregor removed the post from public view approximately 24 hours after initially sharing it.

During the livestream, which catered to Ross' youthful audience, Trump discussed a range of topics, including his upcoming campaign.

However, one moment stood out and quickly went viral - Donald Trump's endorsement of Khabib Nurmagomedov. When asked about his favorite fighter, Trump didn't hesitate to mention the former lightweight champion.

He even recounted an interaction where Nurmagomedov allegedly asked him to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

McGregor, known for his intense rivalry with Nurmagomedov, was quick to react.

He took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his displeasure, writing, "Campaign ending decision. A smelly fat mountain monkey from the inbred mountains of Dagestan is your favorite UFC (AMERICAN COMPANY) fighter? Wow. Abysmal."

McGregor's harsh words highlighted his frustration with Trump's choice, especially given his previous support for the former president after an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13.

The situation escalated when Michael Chandler, a potential future opponent for McGregor, responded to the Irishman's tweets. Chandler criticized McGregor for his withdrawal from UFC 303, calling him a coward.

He also mentioned McGregor's appearance at a motorcycle rally in South Dakota, a state known for its strong Republican support, implying that McGregor's stance against Trump might not be well-received.

The fierce rivalry between Nurmagomedov and McGregor can be traced to their historic UFC 229 match in October 2018, which broke UFC records for viewership and revenue.

The build-up to the event was fraught with tension, reaching a boiling point when Khabib, after defeating McGregor, jumped out of the octagon to confront his opponent's team.

Even years later, the bad blood persists, with McGregor being particularly vocal in his disdain. He frequently criticizes Khabib, claiming the Russian fighter dodged challenging opponents, especially following Khabib's retirement in October 2020.

McGregor misses no chance to hurl insults at Khabib, going so far as to taunt him about supposed tax problems in his home country.

Conor McGregor's outburst against Khabib Nurmagomedov sparks trolling

Conor McGregor's outburst attracted significant attention online, with many users roasting him.

One X user commented, "Khabib truly broke Conor; he has never fully recovered mentally." Another remarked, "Conor is overreacting. President Trump’s feeling about UFC fighters has nothing to do with his ability to save America."

"Not being Trump’s favorite UFC Fighter shouldn’t have anything to do with fighting for your country on November 5th. If pride gets in the way of doing the right thing, that’s pretty weak," one user opined. Another simply stated, "Come on Conor quit crying!! It’s not a big deal."

"McGregor is just sore he got beat so badly by Khabib," one wrote. Another added, "Connor crashing out on the daily these days."

Someone else wrote, "McGregor is an absolute tool bag." One user said, "Conor McGregor is such a crybaby."
