Conor McGregor hit out at Dana White when the UFC boss said Khabib Nurmagomedov "is the man now" following his victory over Dustin Poirier.

White praised Nurmagomedov after he submitted Poirier at UFC 242 to defend his UFC lightweight title in Abu Dhabi last September.

"Khabib is the man now," the UFC president said. "Conor isn't the man anymore, so Khabib gets to sit back and call the shots."

McGregor, who hadn't fought since his devastating defeat to Nurmagomedov at the time of the tweet, reacted angrily to White's comment.

"Who's not the man? Your man had that marquee event did he? More like an event in a marquee. A tent in the fucking sand it was. Keep spoofing to your self horse. Jock strap sniffer championships," he wrote on Twitter.

Nurmagomedov fired back which prompted a fiery exchange.

The Russian replied: "This is a fiasco wino" to which McGregor said: "See you in Moscow, p**sy."

Nurmagomedov then wrote: "In Moscow, rapists are not expected."

Of course, the Irishman made a triumphant comeback to the Octagon when he destroyed Donald Cerrone in just 40 seconds at UFC 246 in January.

He's hoping to land another shot at Nurmagomedov, and he took to Twitter to aim a dig at his arch rival.

"Conors left hand. Anderson's front kick. Rondas armbar. Hendo's bomb. Crocops high kick. Jon's side kick to the knees over and over again and actually the only thing at this stage? Khabibs little mermaid leg wrap thing he does. What a sport! Who's the greatest, you already know," he posted before deleting the tweet on Wednesday.
