Is this message a Chechen fighter sent Conor McGregor a veiled threat?

A Chechen fighter linked to Ramzan Kadyrov claims Conor McGregor will have to “answer for his words” about the Chechen dictator following the UFC 229 press conference.

Khusein Khaliev, a lightweight fighter who represents Kadyrov’s Akhmat MMA fight club and competes for the World Fighting Championships of Akhmat promotion in Chechnya, stated that McGregor should “show remorse” for mentioning Kadyrov during the UFC 229 press conference last Thursday if he is “not looking for trouble.”

“Conor, you’re a master trashtalker. But this time I was offended after watching the press conference” Khaliev said in an Instagram post.
