CONOR McGREGOR appeared to spit in a fan’s face after a jibe about Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor, 36, hasn’t stepped inside the octagon since suffering a horrifying leg break in a losing effort during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 four years ago.

The Irish fighter’s return date is currently unknown after his highly-anticipated comeback fight against Michael Chandler was axed due to a toe injury.

The mixed martial artist, though, is still attractig the spotlight as a shocking clip of him has now gone viral.

McGregor is shown at what looks like a swanky shopping centre and a fan is heard yelling. “Let’s go Khabib” in what appears to be a quip directed at the Irishman.

The former lightweight champion turns around and has an angry confrontation with the man in question.

A spitting sound is then heard before the ex-featherweight champion walks away.

McGregor is then heard saying: “I spit in your face, what do you do? Nothing.”

The location and date in which the clip is recorded is not yet known.

McGregor’s rivalry with Nurmagomedov back in 2018 went down in history as one of the most intense.

The two fighters had fiery confrontations both inside and outside the octagon.

That led to a fight at UFC 229, which McGregor lost via submission in the fourth round.

The two rivals have never faced since Nurmagomedov retained the lightweight title in Las Vegas.

GRAHAM POTTER was back on familiar territory at Chelsea – to the extent of taking his old seat in the dugout.

Recent changes at Stamford Bridge mean the away technical area was once the home one, and vice versa.

Apart from that things are pretty much the same as when he was sacked in 2023 after seven months, following a run of three wins from eight games and with the team apparently in turmoil.

Last night’s fortunate win for the latest man to inhabit the home dugout is also only the third in the last eight games. An identical run of form almost two years since Potter was axed.

Yet Enzo Maresca is still regarded as the man to take Chelsea forwards and the three points earned at vast expense against West Ham lifts them back into the top four.

Whether they have the gumption to stay there is hugely questionable because at times Maresca had his head in his hands at some of the stuff that passed for football being played by his team.

Chelsea went behind from a defensive clanger, faced an anxious wait for their equaliser to be cleared by VAR, then needed an own goal from Aaron Wan-Bissaka to finally see off opponents who have been struggling for momentum all season.

A win is a win but there are cracks under the surface and there is nowhere to go in the transfer market between now and summer.

Maresca had a relatively quiet day ahead of the 11pm deadline.

His boldest move was to ditch cock-up keeper Robert Sanchez for making one mistake too many and replaced him with understudy Filip Jorgensen.

When the Dane’s name was read out pre-match, the loud cheers from the Matthew Harding Stand showed what the Chelsea fans thought of that decision.

However, the joy was briefly cut short in just the eighth minute when the new man spilled a dangerous cross whipped in by Andy Irving, with Jarrod Bowen bearing down on him in the box.

It was similar at the other moments later when Chelsea broke at speed and Noni Madueke whipped a curling shot just wide of the post.

It’s always odd when two high profile teams meet on transfer deadline day because half the crowd are wondering if there will be any breaking news between kick off and final whistle.

Maresca has not enjoyed this window one bit, labelling it a ‘disaster’ with all the ‘noise’ – the speculation – that surrounds his players in particular as they play for such a busy club.

But those who make the matchday squad know their futures are safe at least. So why Chelsea seemed so edgy in the first half is a question Maresca and his squad needed to answer during the break.

They played the more stylish football of the two, but struggled to find range and direction when it came to the crunch.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s deadliest marksman, had a pinpoint free kick tipped over the bar that drew a cracking save from Alphonse Areola.

But he also smacked the strip lights at the top of The Shed with one shot and put another straight into the arms of the Hammers keeper.

Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez also narrowly missed – but missed all the same.

Potter’s West Ham have been shuffling along without a recognised striker this year with skipper Jarrod Bowen out having fractured a foot.,

Raring to go, Bowen wasted no time and no chances – gobbling up a dreadful back pass by Levi Colwill to burst clear into the Chelsea box and bend a shot past Jorgensen’s dive at ground level.

Maresca’s team was struggling physically, not just mentally. So much so that he was forced to take off struggling striker Nicolas Jackson and Sancho just six minutes into the second half.

He had used four subs by the hour mark as the Italian desperately plotted to inject some stability into his team that was seriously under the cosh but as much by their own mistakes.

An untidy derby riddled with errors even saw ref Stuart Attwell falling over on the job. And Chelsea’s equaliser was just as scruffy.

Sub Pedro Neto’ cross dropped into the West Ham box and courtesy of the faintest flick on by a visiting defender, hit Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella virtually on the by line.

He managed to knock it back into the path of Fernandez who shot. It was blocked but Neyo scooped up the chance from close range. A lengthy VAR check finally handed Maresca a lifeline. 

Chelsea sealed it with 16 minutes to go when Palmer burst forwards on the wing and squared a low cross which took a huge deflection off Wan-Bissaka and looped over Areola and into the net.

CHELSEA capitalised on the failures of their rivals to move up to fourth in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over West Ham in West London.

Chances came and went for The Blues in the first half, with the two best falling to Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez, both of whom missed the target.

And just when it looked to be a half of missed chances, a Levi Colwill backpass rolled straight into the path of Jarrod Bowen who dispatched his shot perfectly into the bottom left corner on his return from injury.

A host of changes from Enzo Maresca upped the tempo in the second half, and they paid dividends with Pedro Neto driving home an equaliser in the 63rd minute after a shot from Enzo Fernandez.

Fans grew optimistic as the home side grew into the game, which culminated in a deflected Cole Palmer effort sending the Bridge into raptures as they went 2-1 up.

Only Spurs have dropped more points from winning positions than Chelsea this season, but they managed to cling onto this one to put them into a Champions League spot once more.

Here is how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated Chelsea’s performance.

Filip Jorgensen – 7

It would’ve been a tough task to disappoint Chelsea fans after what they have seen from Robert Sanchez in recent weeks.

There wasn’t an awful lot he could do about the opener, and actually made some pretty good stops to prevent his side being more than one goal down at the halfway point.

Those saves proved vital, and he should expect to start again against Brighton.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

Reece James – 6

His crosses from the right were good throughout the first half, but there was no one clinical enough in the box to grab him an assist.

Strong defensively, but ultimately didn’t have much to do in that aspect with Chelsea dominant on the flanks.

Tosin Adarabioyo – 7

Strong in the air and pretty good across the ground.

Perhaps could’ve done a little more to prevent Bowen opening the scoring as he seemed to stand and watch him shoot, but overall was good and is growing into a good, consistent Premier League centre half.

His vital block in added time might well have been the difference between three points and one.

Levi Colwill – 3

His awful backpass rolled Jarrod Bowen in perfectly to give the Hammers the lead just before first half-time.

A lousy and sluggish performance improved in the second half after his side took the lead, but he was fortunate not to cost his side points tonight.

Marc Cucurella – 7

Inverted well from left back into midfield in a role that looks made for him, he was strong in his tackles and good in the air from start to finish.

Got into dangerous positions going forward, but couldn’t add the finishing touches to his game on this occasion.

Moises Caicedo – 7

Tenacious tackling and energy is what the home fans have become accustomed to seeing from their Ecuadorian destroyer.

Glimpses of that in the first half extended into a mature and controlled second 45 minutes where he looked to have Mo Kudus’ number.

Enzo Fernández – 5

Missed a huge chance to give Chelsea the lead which he rolled past the left hand post from a few yards out.

It was his saved effort which bounced out for Pedro Neto to level the scoring, but overall the Argentine looked a bit off the pace in midfield.

Noni Madueke – 4

Perhaps should’ve had a goal and assist in the first half an hour as he was set up by Nicolas Jackson and put the ball on a plate for Enzo Fernandez, but neither chance was converted.

His best moment of the second half was when he bodied the referee, before being subbed for Christopher Nkunku.

Cole Palmer – 7

A quiet first half had the travelling fans comparing him to Andy Irving, but he soon showed them up.

Almost scored a free-kick similar to the one we saw against Brighton this season, but it was well saved by Areola.

It was his deflected effort that put his side in the lead as he grew into the game more and more.

Jadon Sancho – 4

His quick feet made him a threat on the left hand side in the first half, but again his end product or lack thereof would’ve cost Chelsea if his replacement didn’t bail them out.

Was subbed five minutes into the second half for Pedro Neto.

Nicolas Jackson – 3

Showed some promising signs early on with a good ball into Noni Madueke, who narrowly missed the goal.

Aside from that, he looked like a striker utterly devoid of any confidence and was poor before being hooked for 18-year-old Marc Guiu.

SUBS

Marc Guiu (Nicolas Jackson, 51) – 5

Didn’t really do a lot wrong or right after coming on for Nicolas Jackson.

Certainly looks more confident in the Conference League, but Premier League minutes in the tank will do him good.

Pedro Neto (Jadon Sancho, 51) – 8

His best performance in a Chelsea shirt since he joined.

A composed finish saw him level the scoring before more great work in the build up saw Cole Palmer rifle home a deflected effort.

Great energy, work rate, and end product from Maresca’s own Portuguese magnifico.

Malo Gusto (Reece James, 60) – 6

Was energetic and strong after replacing captain Reece James, also playing a part in the goal that put his side in the lead.

His passing was good and he looked more like the player who became a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge last campaign.

Christopher Nkunku (Noni Madueke, 60) – 5

Did a job for the team out of position on the left hand side in Jadon Sancho’s position.

Not overly effective though, and you feel sorry for him a bit that a player as good as Cole Palmer occupies his best space.

Also looks like a player lacking confidence.

CEANN Comhairle Verona Murphy has ruled that a regional group of independents cannot be recognised for speaking rights in the Dail.

A row over the matter has consumed Irish politics for the first few weeks of the new Government’s term.

Brian Lawless/PA Wire

The issue centres around the Regional Group of independents – Michael Lowry, Gillian Toole, Barry Heneghan and Danny Healy-Rae.

They have been involved in the programme for Government negotiations and have vowed to support the Fine Gael-Fianna Fail coalition for the next five years.

But they also want to be labelled as opposition TDs so they can get speaking time in the Dail during Leaders’ Questions and challenge the Taoiseach, a bid that was blasted by Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald as “Alice in Wonderland stuff”.

The plot led to a delay in efforts to appoint a taoiseach as the opposition disrupted proceedings in protest.

After a Dail holiday, a mass walkout was on the cards on Wednesday when it was due to return.

However, tonight the Ceann Comhairle said she had made a decision “having carefully considered legal advice, submissions and other materials which are in the public domain”.

The Wexford TD said: “I have decided that the (Regional Technical) Group are not eligible for recognition under Standing Order 170.”

She added: “I have made my decision tonight so that the Committee on Standing Orders and Dáil Reform, which meets tomorrow, will be aware of my ruling in advance of that meeting.”

In her decision, the Ceann Comhairle said that Standing Orders are “not legislation” and constitutional or statutory rules “do not necessarily apply” when interpreting them.

She added: “Rather, any interpretation must, in my view, be based on
how a reasonable, fair-minded person would interpret the relevant wording.”

Deputy Murphy said external senior counsel’s advice said that a technical group can’t be approved unless it complies with the Standing Order, so her key decision was whether the group were “in fact ‘members in Opposition'”.

After referring to several statements made by the independent TDs, her decision was as follows: “Given the public statements and the references in the Programme for Government above it is not unreasonable to conclude that the independent representatives referred to in the Programme for Government include four members of the Regional Technical Group: Deputies Lowry, Toole, Heneghan and Danny Healy-Rae.

“The public statements made by Deputy Michael Lowry on behalf of the Regional Technical Group and those of Deputy Michael Healy-Rae and Danny Healy-Rae are extremely difficult to reconcile with a reasonable interpretation in plain English of the term ‘in Opposition’.

“Further, while I have received emails from Deputies Lowry, Toole, Heneghan and Danny Healy-Rae asserting that they would be retaining their independence and voting on a case-by-case basis, these, in my opinion, carry lesser weight than their previous public statements and actions.

‘NOT SATISFIED’

“These emails were sent after controversy had arisen whereas the previous public statements and actions, which were uncontradicted at the time, were made in the immediate aftermath of the conclusion of the Programme for Government negotiations.

“In simple terms, I cannot accept that these emails displace the weight of the members prior statement referenced above.

“Having regard to the foregoing, having carefully considered all of the legal advice, submissions and materials referenced above, I am not satisfied that Deputies Lowry, Toole, Heneghan and Danny Healy-Rae are members ‘in Opposition’ as required by Standing Order 170. I therefore cannot accord recognition as a technical group to the Regional Technical Group as it is currently constituted.”

The Ceann Comhairle also provided a timeline of key dates involved in making her decision, which is as follows:

• Date OPLA advice received by Ceann Comhairle – 17^th January 2025

• Date of initiation of submissions process – 17^th January 2025

• Deadline for receipt of submissions – 22^nd January 2025

• Date brief sent to external Senior Counsel ‒ 26^th January 2025

• Date opinion was received from external Senior Counsel – 2^nd February 2025

• Date of ruling by the Ceann Comhairle – 3^rd February 2025 

‘BRAZEN SHAM’

Commenting tonight, the Social Democrats’ Cian O’Callaghan said it is a “significant ruling” and “confirms what Opposition parties have been saying from the outset”.

He added: “Government backbenchers cannot masquerade as members of the Opposition in a cynical attempt to avail of Opposition speaking rights.

“In reaching her decision, the Ceann Comhairle put great weight behind the words of members of the Lowry Independents – who publicly stated they were part of the Government.

“She saw through their belated attempt to rewrite history, and claim to be in Opposition, as the brazen sham it was.

“Hopefully this will now put an end to this issue and the Dáil can focus on the many pressing issues facing the country.

“All parties – Government and Opposition – should accept this ruling.”

Sinn Fein’s Padraig Mac Lochlainn also told RTE tonight that it was ridiculous that the Government had contested this position for so long.
