CONOR MCGREGOR has rekindled his rivalry with Khabib Numagomedov, firing several shots at him via Twitter.
They were involved in a heated row before they fought in UFC 229 (2018) - the promotion’s highest-selling pay-per view - after the Irishman attacked the bus carrying Dagestani (and his team).

McGregor was submitted by Nurmagomedov after a post-fight brawl sparked demand for a rematch.
The war of words continued for the next years, as Notorious attempted to win a rematch.
These hopes were dashed when Khabib won against Justin Gaethje to retire with a record 29-0. McGregor, however, has suffered two losses from Dustin Poirier.
In their last fight, he broke his leg at UFC 264 in July's first round. The referee had to stop the action.
While he is still healing from the injury, Diamond wants to be back in action. However, Khabib continues to poke fun at him while he recovers.
McGregor posted a tweet mocking Khabib, making fun of him.
Comments he made at a press conference about UFC ring girl earlier in the month.
Khabib stated that ring girls were insignificant to the UFC or other combat sports because they aren't useful.
He stated that ring girls were the most inconvenient people in MMA. What function do they serve? It's the second. Why are they there?
McGregor shared a clip from The Simpson's, which showed Smithers grimacing and looking away as two women danced before him.
UFC superstar Khabib wrote "Khabib" over Smithers, while Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste were also included in the image.
McGregor also spoke out for Khabib's team-mates Abubakar Nurmagomedov, Zubaira Tukhugov, as he responded to comments from his followers.
He recalled the brawl that erupted after UFC 229 and how he was attacked.
He was outnumbered by Khabib's group, but he managed to land punches against Tukhugov & Abubakar Nurmagomedov.
He was then asked to recall when he did this?
McGregor replied: "Yes I do. McGregor replied, "Yes, I do.
Later, he tweeted: "Catch up little rats, this war is for ever."
After he has fully recovered from his injuries against Poirier, the MMA icon hopes to return to the octagon in 2022.
