Khabib Nurmagomedov did not stay quiet about Conor McGregor’s latest social media rant.
The undefeated UFC lightweight champion took to Twitter to fire back at his rival for the recent comments the Irish superstar made on multiple UFC lightweights, including Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC).
Among McGregor’s many catty comments, it seemed Nurmagomedov honed in one – McGregor (22-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) calling him “a man that hugs legs.”
It’s well-documented that McGregor lacks respect for Nurmagomedov’s fighting style. When the two met back in October 2018 at UFC 229, Nurmagomedov primarily out grappled and landed ground-and-pound on McGregor until getting the rear-naked choke submission in round four. It’s worth noting Nurmagomedov also dropped McGregor on the feet with a well placed right hook.
Seconds after Nurmagomedov’s win a wild brawl erupted between the two teams, which now lives in infamy in MMA history. Since that moment, Nurmagomedov and McGregor have remained bitter rivals and have attacked each other in interviews and social media.
Below is Nurmagomedov’s response to McGregor:
