 "UFC star Conor McGregor spits in man's face after 'Let's go, Khabib' chant; Watch video")
A video of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star Conor McGregor spitting on a man’s face while he was in a casino in Las Vegas has gone viral on social media.
The incident reportedly took place at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas as McGregor was walking along with his team. The man, who seemed to support Khabib Nurmagomedov, chanted “Let’s go Khabib”, which made McGregor furious. McGregor then walked up to the man and spat on his face, and confronted him, saying: “I spit in your face, and what did you do? Nothing!"

The man took a few seconds before he seemingly learnt from his mistake. According to a report in USA Today, there’s no clarity on the source of the original video or the timeline.

McGregor and Khabib have been at loggerheads for quite a while now. The duo’s rivalry was renewed after Ireland’s Paul Hughes took on Usman Nurmagomedov in a fight.
Usman is a cousin of Khabib and trains under the latter. Usman currently has a 19-0 win-loss record and defeated Hughes in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) card fight in Dubai to win the Bellator title. Conor McGregor last fought in the UFC when he took on Dustin Poirier in 2021. He lost that fight and sustained a horrific leg injury.
