UFC star Khamzat Chimaev took a shot at Conor McGregor’s alcohol business with his one-word tweet. The Sweden international expressed his opinion on McGregor’s whiskey brand through his social media and gave his business an inappropriate rating. Chimaev tweeted a picture of him holding the whiskey bottle and tagged the two-time UFC champion.
The 29-year-old Chechen-born shares a mixed bond with the Irishman, while at times he has said that McGregor inspired him to fight. But Chimaev has also stated that he once flew to Ireland to confront McGregor over his comments. On the other hand, the Irish MMA artist has often been seen promoting and talking about his alcohol brand through his social media posts.

Posting a picture of non-alcoholic sparkling rose wine on his Twitter, ‘Borz’ wrote "0/0 @TheNotoriousMMA." Notably, Chimaev is set to fight against Paulo Costa in a middleweight bout on October 21 at UFC 294 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. It will be his first fight since September 2022, when he fought Kevin Holland in the first round at UFC 279.
Speaking of Conor McGregor, he is set to make his UFC return in December this year. However, the fight still remains unofficial due to The Notorious’ drug testing status. The 35-year-old is yet to enter the USADA testing pool since he suffered a leg injury two years ago.
