McGregor’s tweet illustrates his eagerness to criticize them publicly due to the unsolved beef. His loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov still seeps into McGregor every moment and fuels the fire to continue the rivalry between him and the Nurmagomedov team. This is what he had posted:

Steroids are HARAM! The shame of Allah hangs over the nurmagomedov clan. Cheaters! Abdulmanap is doing tumbles in his grave.

Usman Nurmagomedov was suspended for six months after failing a drug test. His recent victory over Brent Primus will be reversed to a no-contest. He will also exit from Bellator’s ongoing lightweight grand prix. Despite these implications, manager Ali Abdelaziz stated that the lightweight champion would not lose his championship. He claimed that the failed drug test was a result of prescribed medicine rather than intentional foul play.
