His COVID-19 was ‘just a cover up’ - Conor McGregor deletes statement on Khabib’s father

Conor McGregor isn’t done beefing with his Khabib Nurmagomedov’s family.

As Abubakar Nurmagomedov threw an insult at McGregor on social media, he weirdly used a COVID-19 joke, despite Khabib’s father Abdulmanap still in serious condition after surgery and a medically induced coma relating to the deadly virus.

Khabib’s cousin’s caption was loosely translated as, “This is when you have the coronavirus and you can’t breathe.”

McGregor didn’t exactly take the high road, and replied with a comment that has since been deleted. As with many things in the internet though, these things don’t really go away.

“I figured it was all just a cover up about Abdulmanap,” McGregor wrote (HT: Chisanga Malata via MMA Mania). “A cover up to hide the lack of activity and the pulling out of fights and running away. Good luck but remember - Allah sees all!”

Neither man looked good with these insults, especially with Khabib’s father still in intensive care. The UFC lightweight champion himself has yet to respond to either comment.
