Conor McGregor explodes against Khab Nurmagomedov the rivalry suddenly flares up again

Nuragomedov and McGregor were once involved in a severe clash, which erupted when McGregor attacked the area behind scenes of the Khababi match with Al Iaquanta in Barclays Center in April 2018.

Former weight and feather champion McGregor threw a metal cart (ly) into a bus carrying Khababi and his team.

The crash continued to intensify and ended at UFC 229, where Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor with “submission” in a match for the lightweight title.

Seven years after this duel which remains the most popular event in UFC history in the pay-per-view system, the hatred between them has not yet died out.

Recently, in an interview with Russian journalist Adam Zubayraev, Khabbi drew a sting on McGregor when he was asked about the current lightweight champion, Ilia Topuria.

Could Ilia Topuria Conor be next? No, he's a good guy,” said Nurmagomedov. “E sees that it's trying to become someone. ”

McGregor responded to this statement with a harsh post at X, which was later deleted.

You know, the biggest sports bitch is going around that fat mouth again. Currer, ” wrote the Irishman.

McGregor has not fought since heavy foot damage to Dustin Poirier in UFC 264, but plans to return to the cage next year.

In an interview with The Schmo, he confirmed that he will return to the UFC anti-doping testing programme as part of the restoration preparations in 2026.

I'm going home, I'm resting, I'm focusing. They're testing me, I'm in the system! ” said McGregor.

Make ready. And stand by, for the damage will happen! Eagle Office, White House Garden! ”

The 37-year-old hopes to return to the major UFC event scheduled to be held in the White House garden in July next year, to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence, an initiative warned by President Donald Trump himself.
