Former two-division champion Conor McGregor doesn’t respect Khabib and has never missed a chance to dig at any development involving the latter. When the news came out about the allegations of Tax evasion, the Irishman tweeted(later deleted).

”Broke and on the run. If you see him tell him push up for cash.”
