The UFC never really leaves the blood, and today Conor McGregor decided to drag his oldest rival back into the cage – except this time the weapon wasn't fists, it was crypto receipts.

McGregor dropped a sarcastic tweet questioning whether "good guy Khabib" used his late father's name and Dagestan's culture to pump a bunch of NFTs, then deleted everything after the money rolled in and left fans holding empty bags.

The tweet blew up instantly (currently sitting at over 26K likes and millions of views).

But the crypto timeline moves faster than a McGregor left hand.

Less than an hour later, ZachXBT slid in with the most brutal mirror match we've seen all year.

He copied McGregor's exact wording, swapped in "good guy McGregor" and "Irish culture," and attached the evidence everyone still remembers: the $REAL token launch from earlier this year.

For those who forgot (or tried to), back in April 2025, McGregor went full crypto bro mode.

"I changed the fight game. I changed the whiskey game. I changed the stout game. Now it's time to change the CRYPTO game."

The $REAL token launched with massive hype, a $3.6M hard cap, $1M minimum raise, and promises of staking, utility, the whole script.

It famously limped to somewhere between $200K–$400K (reports vary), failed to hit the minimum, and the team eventually refunded everyone.

Technically not a classic rug pull – money was returned.

But the posts vanished, the hype died overnight, and a lot of people who aped early on pure McGregor hype got emotionally rekt watching it all disappear.

ZachXBT capped it off with the ultimate seal of shame: the sad Pepe "Frog of Shame" edit that only gets pulled out for the most egregious cases.

The irony is thicker than Proper Twelve whiskey.

McGregor is out here calling Khabib a scammer for allegedly doing exactly what everyone accused him of doing – using cultural clout and personal legacy to fire-sell digital assets to diehard fans, then scrubbing the evidence.

Whether Khabib's NFTs were actually shady or not (details remain thin), the fact that McGregor thought this was a safe attack line in 2025, after everything that happened with $REAL, is pure comedy gold.

This is exactly why the meme coin community stays on high alert with celebrity launches.

One day you're the face of "changing the game," the next you're getting ratio'd by ZachXBT with your own deleted tweets.

Moral of the story? In crypto, the chain never forgets – and neither does Zach.

Stay safe out there, degens. FOMO is temporary, on-chain receipts are forever.
