Conor McGregor had a message for Khabib Nurmagomedov after Nurmagomedov’s criticism on Saturday night.
Step back into the octagon.
Nurmagomedov, the unbeaten 32-year-old who retired after his last fight in October, shot a shot at McGregor after losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. It was McGregor’s first UFC fight in a year and his second since losing to Nurmagomedov in October 2018.
“This is what happened when you changed teams, the sparring partners who made you a champion and struggled with small children, far removed from reality,” Nurmagomedov wrote on Twitter.
To no one’s surprise, the 32-year-old McGregor jumped on the bandwagon to lobby for a second chance.
‘Does he want to come back or not? Because he does not throw any bone kicks, ”McGregor said of Nurmagomedov after being run by Poirer’s kicks. ‘If he wants to make his disrespectful comment, come back and let’s go again, my husband. I’m in favor of this. This is a fight. ‘
Uana President Dana White has tried to lure Nurmagomedov out of his retirement.
