In new previously unseen footage, the UFC has detailed how former lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov appearing to spit on arch-enemy, Conor McGregor following his submission win at UFC 229 over the Dubliner, as well as hurling insults at him.

Nurmagomedov, a former undisputed lightweight champion, headlined the above-mentioned UFC 229 card back in 2018 against former two-division titleholder, McGregor, in the pair’s infamous bitter grudge match.

And successfully defending his lightweight crown for the first time against the Crumlin striker, Nurmagomedov turned in a dominant submission win over the former champion, latching onto a fourth round neck crank, forcing an eventual tap.

Engaging in an immediate post-fight brawl with McGregor’s team, including former Bellator MMA star, Dillon Danis, Nurmagomedov was corralled by members of the UFC as well as security officials and other law enforcement officers, before he was then escorted away from the Octagon.

However, across social media today, new – previously unseen footage has emerged showing Nurmagomedov spitting on McGregor following his initial submission success, as well as launching a slew of expletive-filled verbal insults at the former two-weight champion.

“B*tch,” Khabib Nurmagomedov told Conor McGregor. “I f*cked you up. I f*cked you up, b*tch.”

Going on to successfully defend his title in a pair of championship unification matchups with both Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, successfully submitting the duo to retain his undisputed crown.

Himself sidelined for the past three years amid an injury layoff, former two-division champion, McGregor is still targeting an end-of-year return to take on Michael Chandler in a welterweight grudge match.

McGregor’s most recent win came in the form of a first round high-kick and strikes knockout win over UFC Hall of Fame inductee, Donald Cerrone over four years ago.

Last month, footage emerged of McGregor post-operation in California, in which he claimed he was worried his career had come to an abrupt close off the back of his leg fracture against Lafayette rival, Poirier.

“I thought it was over, as well,” Conor McGregor said of his career during a snippet of ‘McGregor Forever’. “That’s why I flipped into a different mold. Now it’s the adrenaline as well, and I wouldn’t know – I would have calmed down, and part of me’s thinking, ‘Jesus, imagine if it’s just been taken from me like that.’ I would go into – I would be a different person.”

Posting another two-minute snippet on his official Twitter account, McGregor insisted that ahead of his comeback fight against Michael Chandler later this annum, he was still the fighter to beat in the promotion.

Despite capturing gold in two separate divisions under the banner of the UFC, former featherweight and lightweight champion, Conor McGregor has been overlooked by arch-rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov who compiled his own 20-man list of fighters who can be considered as “MMA GOATs”.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the Dana White-led UFC, headlined UFC 229 back in October 2018 in a lightweight title fight against Khabib, suffering a fourth round neck crank submission loss to the undefeated Russian as part of their infamous rivalry.

Most recently, however, McGregor suffered a fractured left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to common-foe, Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

And despite his achievements in the sport, McGregor failed to earn a place on the above-mentioned 20-man list compiled by former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib – who has fielded many former champions from various promotions and organizations.

“Fedor/Jones, GSP, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Daniel Cormier, Henry Cejudo, Jose Aldo, Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya, BJ Penn, Royce Gracie, Couture/Velasquez, Hendo/Shogun, CroCop/Miocic, Dominick Cruz/Frankie Edgar,” Khabib Nurmagomedov tweeted his list in descending order.

“In the end, it’s who’s left,” Conor McGregor said in a now-deleted tweet. “Don’t forget. God bless, Tidl Sports Science.”

Recently providing a rather cryptic update on his impending return to the UFC, McGregor claimed he was “in the pool” – leading fans and community members to speculate the Dubliner had returned to the USADA testing pool for the first time since the third quarter of 2021.

Expected to make his Octagon comeback later this year, Conor McGregor recently finished filming on The Ultimate Fighter 31 – where he served as an opposing coach against Michael Chandler, whom he is expected to fight at the welterweight limit in his Octagon return.
