Khabib Nurmagomedov has fired back at Conor McGregor in brutal fashion on social media.
Talks surrounding a potential boxing match between Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi spread like wild-fire, with the retired American boxer nixing the idea by saying it's 'not true'.
He continued to rant about McGregor, calling him the 'king of bulls**t'.
Of course, Paulie Malignaggi and McGregor have history. The UFC star drafted in Malignaggi for sparring ahead of boxing Floyd Mayweather, and it turned sour very quickly.

The Irishman uploaded an image of Malignaggi on the floor during a spar.
They had a run in on fight week back in 2017 with a match-up between the pair talked about.
But after Malignaggi denied a fight was in talks, McGregor hit back by uploading a savage Instagram post in which he also attacked Khabib Nurmagomedov.

He called the two 'broke b***hes'.
The current UFC lightweight king has now reacted by uploading a GIF of McGregor tapping during their UFC 229 main-event in October, accompanied with the words: "You will live with this shame all your life, bi... #tapmachine #mactaper".
Ouch.

A rematch between Nurmagomedov and McGregor has been rumoured.
But before any bout is official, both UFC's 155 lbs'ers have to appear before Nevada State Athletic Commission over the post-fight brawl which marred UFC 229.
