5) Khabib the greatest?

One of McGregor’s biggest rivalries was against Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Irishman lost a heated battle against the Russian at UFC 229, and a lot of bad words were shared before and after the fight.

However, things seem to have calmed down in recent weeks, and McGregor had some great words for his rival.

A phenomenal grappler fighter. The current best in the sport with it.
I’ve the answer however and they know it.
Congrats on the plumbing apprenticeship and thank you for the well wishes!
Same to you and yours 🙏 https://t.co/AUCYizMjRk
