Conor McGregor, a prominent UFC fighter, has publicly criticized former US President Donald Trump for naming Khabib Nurmagomedov as his favorite UFC fighter. McGregor, who has previously supported Trump, referred to the decision as a "campaign ending" move. This reaction was sparked by a video shared on social media in which Trump praised Nurmagomedov during an interview with internet personality Adin Ross. McGregor's response included disparaging remarks about Trump and questioned the legitimacy of his choice.

In the aftermath, UFC fighter Michael Chandler, who is set to fight McGregor, defended Trump's decision. Chandler dismissed McGregor's criticisms and indicated his readiness to face McGregor in the octagon. The public spat has further fueled the ongoing rivalry between McGregor and Nurmagomedov, with McGregor continuing to voice his discontent on social media. The incident has also intensified the anticipation for the potential fight between McGregor and Chandler, though no official date has been set.
