Beating up Conor McGregor was like a vacation for Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Nurmagomedov (29-0) and McGregor (22-6) shared one of the greatest rivalries in MMA history, which transcended their encounter in the Octagon. McGregor crossed certain limits with his trash talk during the buildup to his fight with Nurmagomedov. When Nurmagomedov cornered McGregor’s teammate, Artem Lobov, the Irishman flew down in a private jet and attacked a bus carrying Nurmagomedov and other fighters at UFC 223 in Brooklyn.
The two finally met at UFC 229 in the highest-selling pay-per-view in UFC history.
