Conor McGregor received a message for Khabib Nurmagomedov following Nurmagomedov’s criticism Saturday night.
Return to the octagon.
Nurmagomedov, the undefeated 32-year-old who retired after his last fight in October, fired 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 change teams, let go of the teammates who have made you a champion and fighting with young children, far from reality,” Nurmagomedov wrote on Twitter.
To no one’s surprise, McGregor, 32, skipped all the comments to push for the rematch.
“Do you want to come back or not? Because he doesn’t throw any kicks in the legs, “McGregor said of Nurmagomedov after being stopped by Poirer’s kicks.” If you want to have his disrespectful comments, come back and come back my man. I’m here for that. That’s talking of struggle “.
UFC President Dana White has been trying to convince Nurmagomedov to retire.
