Conor McGregor grabbed the spotlight with his outrageous comments on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s clan after Usman Nurmagomedov failed a drug test for an unnamed substance. Bellator recently announced that Usman Nurmagomedov’s win over Brent Primus was overturned to a no-contest following a failed drug test.
The California State Athletic Commission issued a six-month ban and a $50,000 fine to Usman Nurmagomedov for failing the test before Bellator 300. The news of the failed drug test spread like wildfire among the MMA community, and Conor McGregor wasted no time in taking shots at the whole clan of his former opponent, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor tweeted on ‘X’: “I am not one bit surprised upon hearing another of the Nurmagomedov team testing positive for steroids. Hypocrites of the highest order”. The controversial figure added more to rub salt in the wounds of the fighters from Russia.

McGregor followed up and posted, “Steroids are HARAM! The shame of Allah hangs over the Nurmagomedov clan. Cheaters! Abdulmanap is doing tumbles in his grave”. These were clear shots at the father of Khabib, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Abdulmanap was a devoted Muslim, and McGregor brought religion into the mix to claim hypocrisy from the Nurmagomedov clan.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has yet to comment on the failed drug test or these outrageous comments from Conor McGregor. Meanwhile, Usman took to social media to explain that this failed drug test was just a lapse in judgment and emphasized that he was not a cheat.
Dillon Danis add fuel to Conor McGregor’s comments on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s clan
Whenever Conor McGregor is in the spotlight, Dillon Danis is not far behind. The same was evident with these new comments, as Danis tweeted one of the tweets from McGregor to add fuel to the controversy.
Danis tweeted how these Dagestani fighters are able to dodge these drug tests. He tweeted, “A Dagestani fighter told me how it’s done. They train there and make USADA come. When they arrive, they threaten him because they are superstars there, controlling the police and everything political, so they threaten him with everything under the sun. He won’t leave, and they use clean urine to pass“.

Dillon Danis pointed more fingers at the clan of Khabib Nurmagomedov by stating that these Russian fighters use their political influence and power back in their homeland to get away from these drug tests. It is to be noted that Danis didn’t provide any concrete proof to back his claims. But these comments put some shade on the achievements of the whole Nurmagomedov clan.
Conor McGregor deleted the controversial tweets after the initial backlash from some sections of fans. However, it didn’t stop Danis from taking shots at the Russian fighters.
After these comments from Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis, all eyes will be on Khabib Nurmagomedov. Everyone is waiting to see the reaction from the former UFC champion. Fans and experts are intrigued to see how the leader of Nurmagomedov’s clan responds to this failed test and if he addresses these claims from Dillon Danis.
