Conor
McGregor continues to make headlines for all the wrong
reasons.
On Monday, a video surfaced of the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship two-division champion spitting
in a man’s face outside Caffe Al Teatro in Wynn Las Vegas and
Encore. The incident began after shouts of “Let’s go Khabib” can be
overheard. McGregor then turns and walks toward a group of people
and spits in one man’s face before walking away. The Irish star
appears to be surrounded by security at the time.
“I spit in your face,” McGregor then says. “What’d you do?
Nothing.”
Exactly when the incident occurred is currently unclear.
The video comes after McGregor
tweeted and deleted a slur-filled rant directed at Khabib
Nurmagomedov last week. McGregor has a long history of feuding
with Khabib and his family, which dates back to their championship
fight at UFC 229 in 2018. McGregor repeatedly insulted Khabib
leading up to their bout, and though he lost via fourth-round
submission, the “Notorious” has continued to take shots at his
Dagestani rival over the years.
Tensions resurfaced following
PFL Road to Dubai, when McGregor ripped Paul Hughes
for a respectful exchange with Khabib and his team following a loss
to Usman
Nurmagomedov in the evening’s main event. Khabib then responded
by calling McGregor a “rapist and drug addict.”
The SBG Ireland standout has also dealt with his share of legal
trouble in recent months. McGregor was recently found
civilly liable for a sexual assault in Ireland and had
another lawsuit filed against him for an alleged assault at an
NBA Finals game in 2023.
While his out-of-the-cage antics continue to escalate, McGregor’s
fighting career has stagnated. His proposed return against Michael
Chandler at UFC 303 was scrapped due to a broken toe, and there
has been no timetable established for his Octagon return. McGregor
himself teased a potentially lucrative boxing match against
Logan
Paul in India, but there has been nothing concrete regarding
that bout as of yet. The Dublin native last competed at UFC 264 in
July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in a technical knockout
loss against Dustin
Poirier.
