There is something in the water of Dagestan that makes the tiny, sparsely populated Russian province produce a barrage of MMA champions. The post “Khabib’s Not Wrong” – Chael Sonnen Picks Sides Between Conor McGregor & Khabib Nurmagomedov as Ireland-Dagestan Rivalry Gets Ugly appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Conor McGregor has an issue with Irish MMA fighters who have sung the praises of Khabib Nurmagomedov only to be told they aren't good.

Khabib Nurmagomedov mocks Conor McGregor's famous "takeover" claim, dismissing it highlighting his own dominance in MMA.

After Khabib Nurmagomedov trashed Irish MMA earlier this week, Conor McGregor has now fired back at the former UFC champion with a bizarre but comical video.

While almost seven years have passed since the culmination of their chaotic clash that took place at UFC 229, the intense rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov hasn't died down and reignites every now and then.

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s recent comments about Irish MMA unsurprisingly drew the attention of Paul Hughes. A former UFC lightweight champion, Nurmagomedov extended his professional record to 29-0 when he defended his belt against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in 2020 before announcing that he’d be retiring from fighting altogether.

After several months of silence in the feud, Khabib Nurmagomedov has reignited his rivalry with Conor McGregor with a comment about his native Ireland. While he is many things, one truth you cannot deny about 'The Notorious' is his love for his homeland of Ireland.
