Islam Makhachev sensationally blasts Conor McGregor: “Alcoholic, drug addict, and rapist”
UFC lightweight champion Makhachev has launched a scathing attack on Conor McGregor after a civil jury found the Irish fighter liable for sexual assault.
MMA superstar Conor McGregor is once again at the center of a media frenzy, this time due to a legal issue outside the octagon. The most prominent figure in MMA history is experiencing turbulent times after being found liable for sexual assault by a civil court jury in Ireland.
A woman who alleges McGregor “brutally raped and battered her” six years ago at a hotel in Dublin will be compensated with €250,000 ($257,000) by the fighter, who has announced his intention to appeal the decision.
What did Islam Makhachev say about McGregor?
In the wake of this news, several influential figures have weighed in on McGregor’s trial. UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev’s scathing comments on social media platform X were among the most eye-catching.
“It was a matter of time till this filthy bastard be exposed. Alcoholic, drug junkie + rapist. Many more facts to come out, trust me!” blasted the Russian fighter.
Makhachev and McGregor’s long-standing feud
McGregor’s bad blood with the Dagestani MMA contingent dates back years. It all began when the Irishman stirred up controversy by insulting Khabib Nurmagomedov’s family and religion in the lead-up to their legendary 2018 fight, an act that sparked an infamous post-fight brawl.
Since then, McGregor has continued to hurl insults, calling them dirty, poor, stupid, and a number of other derogatory terms. As a result, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s camp, which includes son Khabib and Makhachev, rarely misses an opportunity to criticize the Irishman and always comments on his controversies in the harshest possible terms.
