Shocking footage emerged of Conor McGregor and a Khabib fan recently.
The Irishman was involved in an unsavoury moment after a man in the video had shouted ‘Lets go Khabib’ in a reference to his former rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
You can watch the video below:

Former boxing world champion, Carl Froch has given his assessment on the altercation.
Posting on X the Nottingham native retweeted his video from ‘Froch On Fighting’ asking, ‘what would you do?’
“Absolutely VULGAR, just VILE… if it was me, YOU WOULD HAVE GOT A SWIFT RIGHT HAND. @Carl_Froch SLAMS @TheNotoriousMMA for spitting in someone’s face.”
In the video Froch said: “For McGregor to go over to go over to this guy and spit in his face… what are you doing?! Why are you spitting in a grown man’s face? And not only did you spit in his face, he then bragged about it and said ‘I’ve just spat in your face and you’ve done nothing about it.
He continued: “I mean, what can the guy do about it? He has a go at McGregor and gets took down or battered, but then again McGregor is going straight to jail. Why is McGregor putting himself in these stupid positions? He’s already been in enough trouble now, you’d think he’d want to keep a low profile and keep his head down. Somebody shouts ‘Khabib,’ he’s allowed to shout Khabib… he’s a Khabib fan! Don’t go over and spit in a man’s face, it’s just vile, it’s wrong, it’s classless, and if it was me, you would’ve got a swift right hand straight down the pipe on that stupid chin of yours. It’s just out of order, it’s vulgar and you need to grow up.
What would you do?? 👊🏼😤 https://t.co/9i2W9n4Adv

McGregor hasn’t fought since July of 2021 when he suffered a broken leg in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier.
He was set for an eagerly anticipated return against Michael Chandler last year, but he pulled out of the contest due to a broken toe.
Will we ever see McGregor fight in the Octagon again? Let us know in the comments.
