“Staph again. This inbred however lives with Staph,” McGregor tweeted. “This team is infested, make no mistake. Scruff balls. Whatever ya’s are into, I suppose. He still subs Dustin in the 1st…
“Yous absolute scruffy fucks I’m sick of yous. Wash your fucking self! Wash your clothes! Wash your mats! And do it fucking everyday you scruffy cunts.”
As of this writing, there’s no direct evidence of Makhachev preparing to fight with a staph infection at UFC 302, although that hasn’t stopped speculation from some pundits and fans.
The accusations by McGregor towards Makhachev come just two months after Benoît Saint-Denis fought Poirier after suffering from a staph infection at UFC 299. Poirier went on to win the bout by second-round knockout.
McGregor’s accusations are the latest in a slew of attacks on Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Dagestan. He’s previously accused Makhachev of inbreeding and has made hateful remarks about Nurmagomedov and his family.
While it’s uncertain if Makhachev is suffering from the effects of staph, McGregor’s accusations are going viral on social media, adding to an enhanced talking point ahead of fight night.
