Conor McGregor hits back at Khabib Nurmagomedov’s ‘disrespectful’

Conor McGregor had a message for Khabib Nurmagomedov after Nurmagomedov’s criticism on Saturday night.

Return to the octagon.

Nurmagomedov, the undefeated 32-year-old who retired after his last fight in October, shot McGregor after losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. It was McGregor’s first UFC fight in one year and the second since his loss to Nurmagomedov in October 2018.

“This is what happened, when you change teams, let the sparring partners who made you a champion and fights with little kids, far from reality,” Nurmagomedov wrote on Twitter.

Unsurprisingly, McGregor, 32, has jumped all over the comments to push for a rematch.

“Does he want to come back or not?” Because he doesn’t kick leg kicks, ”McGregor said of Nurmagomedov after being done by Poirer’s kicks. “If he wants to have his disrespectful comments, come back and let’s go my man.” I am here for this. It is combat talk.

UFC president Dana White tried to persuade Nurmagomedov to quit his retirement.
