According to MMA on SI, former UFC star Conor McGregor is making headlines again. This time, it was for being seen in a now viral video spitting on a Khabib Nurmagomedov fan.
If you ask UFC fans, they’ll tell you that no one is a bigger star in the UFC than McGregor. He seems to be making the news for everything except a comeback to the UFC.
Fans in MMA community have become frustrated with McGregor’s behavior, considering he hasn’t fought in the Octagon since 2021.

Since then, McGregor has gone 1-3.
There have always been bad feelings between McGregor and Nurmagomedov.
In the now-viral interaction with the fan, the fan is heard and seen yelling, “Let’s Go, Khabib!” at McGregor.

McGregor met Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, and it was clear that McGregor still had some hatred toward Nurmagomedov.

Maybe this interaction will spark a fight between McGregor and Nurmagomedov, possibly setting the UFC on fire again.
