UFC star, Conor McGregor continues to disgrace himself on social media this week, referring to fellow Dublin native, Jono Carroll as a “carpet licker” after the professional boxing star revealed his conversion to the Islamic religion.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder during his tenure with the Dana White-led promotion, has been heavily criticized across social media amid a series of feuds on social media.

Last month, Crumlin counter striker, McGregor claimed Derry native, Paul Hughes was a “weasel” and questioned his Irish allegiance and identity after the PFL star conversed with his arch-nemesis, Khabib Nurmagomedov after his PFL: Road to Dubai headliner.
Furthermore, rekindling his rivalry with Nurmagomedov on social media, Conor McGregor used the n-word on social media on numerous occasions during a post aimed at the Russian — after also mocking the former’s arranged marriage to a distant relative.

And overnight, footage emerged on social media of McGregor, 36, engaging in an altercation with a member of the public whilst attending a function in Washington, spitting in the man’s face after he was on the receiving end of a pro-Nurmagomedov jibe.

“Carpet licker,” Conor McGregor commented on Jono Carroll’s Instagram post.
“Imagine someone you looked up to as a kid like @thenotoriousmma calling you a carpet licker because I put my head to the ground every day speaking to God,” Jono Carroll posted. “Never mind disrespecting Islam
this fella should be ashamed of himself.
“Islam has made me a better man all around,” Jono Carroll explained. “I just hope he finds peace like I have. (Someday) inshallah
I’m so happy my brother @khabib_nurmagomedov (a real man) gave you a lesson for acting the hard man.
But you weren’t too brave tapping out when it was just the 2 of you in that cage where you???”
