On Sunday, gunmen carried out coordinated attacks on churches and synagogues in two cities in Dagestan, a mainly Muslim area in southern Russia. Among the terrorists killed was Gadzhimurad Kagirov, an MMA fighter linked to Khabib Nurmagomedov. The attacks resulted in a priest being killed and both a church and a synagogue being destroyed. Recently, Conor McGregor posted a tweet on X that subtly targets Khabib Nurmagomedov. Let’s look into the details.

The attacks also occurred in Makhachkala, the hometown of UFC lightweight champion Islam Makahchev. There have been reports linking an MMA fighter involved in the terrorist act in Dagestan to Team Nurmagomedov, but Khabib denied any association with the incident. MMA gyms in Dagestan, including Khabib Nurmagomedov’s gym, are typically open to the public, allowing anyone to use the facilities for training. Khabib emphasized that he was never part of that team.
Recently, news broke out about Gadzhimurad Kagirov, an MMA fighter linked to Khabib Nurmagomedov, being involved in terrorism and attacking churches and synagogues. After this news, Conor McGregor posted a tweet saying “#conorwasright,” referring to when he had previously mocked Khabib’s manager Ali Abdelaziz and linked him to terrorism.
Then, at UFC 229 press conference in New York, tensions were high between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. During the face-off, McGregor called Abdelaziz a “terrorist snitch,” reigniting the heated rivalry between the two fighters. As investigations proceed, relying solely on official statements regarding the attacks is crucial. Fans should avoid reacting to speculation on social media. Meanwhile, Khabib faces the need to defend himself against allegations of terrorist connections.
