Conor McGregor has repeatedly made inflammatory remarks about Khabib Nurmagomedov. But, following a report that the champion’s father is seriously ill, McGregor say he’s “saddened” by the news.

Recently it was reported that Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, is in a coma in a Moscow hospital. The renowned coach was initially hospitalized in Dagestan, due to a suspected case of pneumonia.

More recently, McGregor tweeted out the following comments regarding the situation.

Praying for the recovery of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. A man responsible for more World champions, across multiple fighting disciplines, than we even know.
A true martial genius!
Very saddened upon hearing this news tonight.
Praying for the Nurmagomedov family at this time
