Nurmagomedov responded by calling McGregor «a rapist» in reference to sexual assault allegations that recently surfaced against the Irish fighter.

His tweet included a selfie of a woman that appears to show McGregor touching her thighs.

UFC President Dana White then promised that the organization would take action. That didn’t stop McGregor from firing off – and deleting – another insulting tweet about Nurmagomedov’s wife.

«It’s a goat under that towel,» he wrote. See the still below:

Now McGregor has changed his tone.

In a new tweet that could be construed as a apology, he wrote, «I want to move forward, with my fans of all faiths and all backgrounds. »

The final line implies that he wants to compete in the UFC again.

«Now see you in the Octagon. »

All we know is that we want to see Nurmagomedov-McGregor II more than ever.
