‘Good always defeats evil’ - Khabib reacts to Dustin Poirier’s win over Conor McGregor at UFC 264

The return of vintage Conor McGregor in the final weeks of fight week amped up the heat with Dustin Poirier, to say the least. “The Notorious” dragged Dustin’s wife Jolie into the trash-talk, and some of the remarks took a crude turn.

Poirier ended up winning the trilogy after “The Notorious” injured his leg at the end of the first round. It was a delight to see for many observers, including retired former UFC 155-pound king Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“The Eagle” (or someone from his team) tweeted this out, post-fight.

Khabib himself was on the receiving end of personal attacks from McGregor during the lead-up of their UFC 229 title fight in 2018.
