Conor McGregor Responds to Khabib's Tweet: 'Come Back and Let's Go Again'

Even after losing to Dustin Poirier Saturday night, Conor McGregor wants another shot at Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Khabib turned heads by criticizing McGregor on Twitter after his UFC 257 loss:

khabib nurmagomedov @TeamKhabib

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.

McGregor clarified at his post-fight press conference that "my team has been with me since day one" but also called on the current lightweight champion to back up his words.

"If he wants to have his disrespectful comments, come back and let's go again, my man," McGregor said.
