Conor McGregor expressed outrage on social media after Donald Trump named Khabib Nurmagomedov as his favorite UFC fighter during an interview with Adin Ross. McGregor, who has long-standing animosity toward Nurmagomedov, criticized Trump’s choice as a 'campaign ending decision' and mocked the former president's wealth. In a series of now-deleted tweets, McGregor referred to Nurmagomedov derogatorily and questioned Trump's support for American fighters. This incident sparked a feud between McGregor and fellow fighter Michael Chandler, who defended Trump and criticized McGregor for pulling out of their scheduled fight. The exchange illustrates the ongoing tension between McGregor and Nurmagomedov, stemming from their heated rivalry in the UFC. Despite his past support for Trump, McGregor's reaction highlights his deep-seated rivalry with Khabib, overshadowing any political alignment.
