Why Khabib Nurmagomedov Said Beating Conor McGregor Was Like a ‘Vacation’ – “Moment to Enjoy”

UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov has explained what it felt like to batter and defeat Conor McGregor in their iconic clash back at UFC 229.

Back in late 2018, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor finally squared off in a fight that had been building for a good few years. Khabib made it known for a long time that he was interested in facing the Irishman, whereas McGregor wasn’t really active in mixed martial arts in the wake of his big win at UFC 205. Instead, he opted to venture into the world of professional boxing, where he collided with Floyd Mayweather.
