Spitting incident? Conor McGregor in heated altercation with fan
MMA fighter Conor McGregor has once again found himself in controversy after a viral video surfaced showing him arguing with a stranger in a shopping mall. During the intense exchange, McGregor appeared to spit in the man's face before walking away.
The confrontation reportedly started when a fan spotted McGregor and shouted "Let’s go, Khabib!", referencing Khabib Nurmagomedov, who famously defeated the Irishman in their heated 2018 UFC bout. The remark triggered an angry reaction from McGregor, who confronted the fan before seemingly spitting at him.
For McGregor, the memory of that loss—and the chaos surrounding it—remains a sensitive topic. Nurmagomedov defeated him via fourth-round submission with a neck crank in one of the most heated fights in UFC history.
McGregor has not fought in UFC for four years, ever since suffering a leg injury in his 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. However, rumors continue to circulate about his comeback, with speculation growing about a potential fight against Logan Paul.
