The post- UFC 313 atmosphere took on controversial overtones after Conor McGregor publicly reacted to Merle Christine, Alex Poatan 's ex-girlfriend . The German model, who previously had a relationship with the former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg), celebrated the Brazilian's defeat to Magomed Ankalaev , sparking the Irish star's anger.

On his X profile (formerly Twitter), McGregor responded with an acidic comment on the matter.
“Ridiculous b*tch. Wash your a*s,” the fighter wrote.
Christine, who had previously publicly criticized Poatan after their relationship ended, made a video after the Brazilian's unanimous decision defeat in which she spoke about 'Karma being real', suggesting that the fight should have taken place on International Women's Day. The post quickly went viral, attracting reactions from fans and sports personalities.
Alex's loss at UFC 313 ended a four-fight winning streak, including victories over names like Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill . The Brazilian, who received a rare ceremonial entrance at the event—an honor shared only by icons like Jon Jones and McGregor himself—couldn't contain Ankalaev's wrestling and lost the light heavyweight title.
