Tyson Fury brutally fires back at Conor McGregor after reply to tweet about Khabib Nurmagomedov

Earlier this month, Tyson Fury took to Twitter to praise former UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov in a tweet that read: “This man did it right. Got in & won & got out on top. Big respect @TeamKhabib.”

The tweet was accompanied with a picture of the Russian holding a Manchester United shirt.

Conor McGregor, who had a bitter rivalry with Khabib has, today, hit back at Fury with a tweet that suggests the Gypsy King “bottled it” in an apparent reference to the attack on Billy Joe Saunders’ dad last year.

Ya’s did it right ye right hahahahaaj. Even when I’m wrong I’m right. Who did it right? The Mac daddy tonight, in house. Miami d12! Bahamas #skyjuice.”

Back in May 2021, Billy Joe Saunders lost to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and, after the fight, his father Tom Saunders tried to get to his son in the ring.

His actions resulted in him being violently pushed to the ground by a security member, consequently causing a brawl to break out among other members of Saunders’ team.

Fury is a close friend of Saunders and was in the group, however, he did not get physically involved in the altercation, and opted to attempt to verbally defuse the situation. Seemingly, these actions have led to the accusation that he “bottled it.”

It is no secret that there is a long span of bad blood between McGregor and Fury, but the tone of Notorious’ tweet seems to be a result of Fury praising Khabib.

The Irishman’s feud with the Russian is one of UFC’s longest running and most bitter rivalries. Their hugely anticipated fight at UFC 229 was the most-bought event in the
