UFC: Conor McGregor slams Khabib Nurmagomedov while congratulating Tony Ferguson

A few moments after Tony Ferguson gave an update about making weight, Conor McGregor took to Twitter and congratulated him. However, ‘The Notorious’ ended his message by hinting at Khabib Nurmagomedov’s absence. According to McGregor, Khabib should do the same and notify UFC fans about his current weight in order to prove that he was ready for the fight.
