During his tirades regarding fighter bets, Conor McGregor, the former two-division UFC champion, attacks his former foe Khabib Nurmagomedov. A prevalent practice today is for players in combat sports to wager money against one another.
Competing fighters bet a sizable portion of the prize money or the entire sum on the battle that comes first. The Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight, when both fighters agreed that the winner would take home the entire payout, is an example of this kind of wagering. Recently, a bet that was all or nothing was accepted even by Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis.
McGregor, a former UFC champion, came out against this type of wagering. Then, by some miracle, he came across Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s query. The Notorious was unable to resist making fun of him.
What Did Conor Mc Gregor Say About Khabib Nurmagomedov?
The Notorious discussed how rival fighters gambled their purses against one another on his official Twitter account. He suggested that such bets were unreasonable and dumb in a series of tweets that questioned the viability and wisdom of such wagers.
He gave advice to his fellow competitors to concentrate on working hard to train and earn money via their commitment and hard work. McGregor highlighted that competitors should be proud of their accomplishments and refrain from taking unwarranted risks.
You still owe khabib your fight purse after that mauling.

Following that, a Twitter user made fun of The Notorious by saying that he owed money to his Russian former rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. McGregor responded by shooting The Eagle. Khabib is a fat bitch with tits now, lad, the Irishman joked.
In the 2018 bout between Nurmagomedov and McGregor, the Russian knocked out the Irishman in the fourth round. However, it appears that their rivalry has continued even after four years of conflict.
Nurmagomedov excludes McGregor from his top-15 MMA fighters list
The Eagle recently shared a list of the top 15 MMA fighters on his official Twitter account. Nurmagomedov named fighters like Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier, and others on his list.
My mma GOAT top 15

2) GSP
3) AndersonSilva
4) DemetriousJohnson

10) BJPENN
11) RoyceGraice
12) Couture/Velasquez
13) Hendo/Shogun
14) CroCop/Miocic
15) Dominic Cruz/Frankie Edgar— khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) April 12, 2023
The Russian mixed martial fighter, though, passed over Conor McGregor. The Notorious is the first UFC champion to hold two weight titles. He also owns the record for the title fight’s quickest knockout. Prior to his defeat against Nate Diaz, The Dubliner had won 15 straight MMA matches without a loss.
Given his incredible career and accomplishments in the sport, The Notorious unquestionably deserves a place among the best 15 MMA fighters of all time. The MMA community was therefore somewhat shocked when McGregor was not included on Nurmagomedov’s list.
