Conor McGregor went into astonishing detail as he once again accused Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, of being a 'f****** snitch, terrorist rat'.
The Irishman had previously opened fire on Abdelaziz during the press conference in New York and went even further down the rabbit hole during the event in Park Theatre in Las Vegas on Thursday.
'You should never take information from an informant. You should keep distance from the informant at all times. Khabib's manager is a f****** snitch, terrorist and rat and that's it.

'I could go into heavy detail', the Irishman teased to the thousands of fans hanging on his every word, before yelling: 'And I will!'
'He was pulled off of a flight going from Cairo, Egypt, to New York City on September 11, 2001,' McGregor said.
'He was caught with five passports in his possession. He turned into an informant and turned on the people he was working with. I don't even know how that man is in this f****** country.
'I'm sure all these Irish here were faced with all this immigration stuff on the way over, my own family was getting stopped at the airport and then you've got this man with such a crazy background, Ali Abdelaziz, and he's rocking around free, it beggars belief to be honest.'
Abdelaziz's past is documented a book called Enemies Within: Inside the NYPD's Secret Spying Unit and bin Laden's Final Plot Against America.
A passage in the book by Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman reads: 'His name was Ali Abdelaziz, an Egyptian mixed martial arts expert. The NYPD recruited him when he was 25 years old, sitting in a Colorado jail cell on charges of forgery.
'The FBI agreed to sponsor Abdelaziz and provide him with a special green card so he could enter and leave the United States. He worked in Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela and elsewhere.'
The Egyptian tweeted the crying with laughter emoji, presumably in reference to McGregor's comments at the press conference. He now works with Khabib and a host of other world-class fighters as CEO of Dominance MMA Management.
McGregor was told Khabib had earlier said Abedelaziz would choke out the 'Notorious' if the pair were ever to fight and he played along with the idea.
'I'd like to fight Ali, I'd like to fight that rat b******,' he said. 'He's had a few fights. I may want to spark Khabib and headline that Madison Square Garden card in November. Get the fight promo started, a snitch vs a proper Irish animal.'
McGregor turned up late to the press conference and Khabib, who arrived bang on time, had already fielded questions and left to focus on his weight cut before his challenger strutted into the building.
The Dubliner is always liable to go off on an unexpected tangent with microphone in hand but the bizarre and pointed attack on Khabib's manager shows his willingness to leave no stone unturned in the battle for a mental edge ahead of Saturday's showdown.
