Conor McGregor UFC News: Notorious appears to take aim at Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dana White in bizarre tweet

Conor McGregor has appeared to take aim at rival Khabib Nurmagomedov and UFC president Dana White in a wild new social media post.

The UFC boss had told the Boston Globe that McGregor was 'not the man' in the promotion anymore, and that his Russian rival had taken over the reigns.

And now McGregor has hit back at both men, alluding to the idea that Nurmagomedov's big title defence in Abu Dhabi against Dustin Poirier was not the 'marquee fight' it's been touted as.

He said: "Who’s not the man? Your man had that marquee event did he? More like an event in a marquee. A tent in the f***ing sand it was.

"Keep spoofing to your self horse. Jock strap sniffer championships."

McGregor hasn't fought since he lost to Khabib last year at UFC 229 by fourth-round submission after a heated build-up.

And despite the fact that McGregor has appeared to show an interest in fighting Frankie Edgar by later this year, Dana White has said that the bout makes "absolutely no sense".

The Notorious claimed he would fight Edgar for free after the American called him out earlier this week.

But UFC President White has ruled out the bout coming to fruition, insisting Donald Cerrone or Justin Gaethje could be next for McGregor.
