CONOR MCGREGOR CALLS KHABIB’S WIFE A ‘TOWEL’ … Khabib Fires Back

Conor McGregor personally attacked Khabib‘s wife — and seemingly mocked Muslim tradition — tweeting a photo of the UFC champ and his bride … and calling her a “towel.”

McGregor went on a Twitter rampage Tuesday night … unleashed a fury of Tweets directed at Paulie Malignaggi — who slapped his good friend, Artem Lobov, earlier in the day — and Nurmagomedov.

“Don’t be scared of the rematch you little scurrying rat” … McGregor wrote.

Conor dug in, getting personal … posting 2 photos from Khabib’s wedding day — along with the caption, “Your wife is a towel mate” — appearing to make fun of Khabib’s wife’s clothing.

McGregor deleted the message minutes later.

Khabib and his wife are devout Muslims … and his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, took the insult as a direct slight at Khabib’s religion.

“Talking sh*t, this guy is insulting someone’s wife and making fun of her religion and belief. He doesn’t realize he’s insulting 1.5 billon Muslims. Religion and family is a no no. You’re fucked Connor, let’s see what the media is going to say now. He’s a rapist, and a bitch.”

Conor’s used racially and religiously charged rhetoric to sell fights and belittle fighters in the past … so it’s possible this entire incident is an attempt to goad Khabib into a rematch

Khabib  fired back at his arch nemesis … clearly alluding to the reports that McGregor is under investigation for sexual assault in Ireland (Conor’s rep bashed the report as a “rumor,” but did not address the allegations).

“Rapist, you are Rapist,” Nurmagomedov tweeted.

“You are a hypocrite who is not responsible for your actions. Justice will find you. We will see.”
