The bad blood between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov took a dark turn recently when the Irishman laid yet another rant on his former rival. Not only did he insult ‘The Eagle’, but the former double champion called Khabib with the N-word, which seems to have made Joaquin Buckley, leading him to call out one of the Dagestan native’s former teammates for not showing any support.
Joaquin Buckley doesn’t really like Conor McGregor and even called him names after his win over Colby Covington last year. However, the use of the racial term in the Irishman’s recent rant on Khabib Nurmagomedov struck a nerve, and seeing Daniel Cormier, who calls ‘The Eagle’ a part of his family, not bringing that up and slamming McGregor on a public platform has ‘surprised’ the welterweight star.
“Surprise DC didn’t mention nothing about Conor calling his brother Khabib a n**** or inbred,” Jaoquin Buckley tweeted. ” I Feel like we too comfortable with anybody saying n**** now a days especially in the ufc so with that being said starting this trend back again say n****/er around me Lay hands on U.”

Well, Joaquin Buckley isn’t the only one who’s taken notice of Conor McGregor’s recent statements. In fact, YouTube superstar and part-time boxer, KSI, also opened up on the whole fiasco, claiming to have been disappointed with what ‘The Notorious’ had to say. Let’s take a look at that front.
YouTube star reacts to Conor McGregor’s remarks about Khabib Nurmagomedov
Conor McGregor and KSI, when they first met more than eight years ago, had a cordial relationship, but now things have changed. When the 30-year-old YouTuber saw ‘The Notorious’ dropping the N-word, he could only say how things have dramatically fallen off for the former UFC double champion, who used to be one of the biggest athletes that fans loved to idolize.
“What a fall from grace man. People looked up this guy [Conor McGregor] smh,” KSI wrote in a post on X. Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Conor McGregor has gotten personal with Khabib Nurmagomedov because way back in 2020, the Irishman even shared some distasteful words for ‘The Eagle’, taking aim at his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, after he passed away.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is not the one to keep responding Conor McGregor’s every insult, but he did take a shot at him after the Irishman’s tirade on Paul Hughes. “You are a real Irishman [Paul Hughes] and not a ra***t and drug addict like this b*****d,” Khabib Nurmagomedov stated on his Instagram stories. It’s a clear sign that the bad blood is not over between the two and it remains to be seen if his recent remarks are met with a response from the Dagestan native, Let us know your take on the whole situation in the comments below.
