Conor McGregor fires back at Khabib Nurmagomedov over ‘disrespectful comments’ made after UFC 257

It appears the rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t going away anytime soon.

On Saturday night, just after McGregor suffered a second-round knockout loss to Dustin Poirier in the UFC 257 main event, Nurmagomedov took to social media to offer his take on the fight. While he never mentioned McGregor by name, it was rather clear who the undefeated Russian was addressing with his comment.

“This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality,” Nurmagomedov wrote.
