The documentary unveils a side of Conor McGregor that fans have rarely seen before, providing a deeper understanding of his triumphs, struggles, and personal growth.
The bitter and personal rivalry with Khabib Nurmagomedov is an integral part of this documentary. McGregor Forever offers a candid portrayal of this rivalry. One of the most surprising and unexpected moments is McGregor’s reaction to Nurmagomedov’s retirement.
Nurmagomedov retired from MMA after his last fight against Justin Gaethje. The bout took place on October 24, 2020, at UFC 254. Khabib cited a promise made to his mother and the desire to honor his late father as the primary reasons for his retirement. The unexpected nature of Nurmagomedov‘s decision had fans and fighters alike curious about McGregor‘s reaction.
The Irishman responded to Khabib’s retirement in a manner that has gone viral on social media.
The documentary captures the moment when McGregor watches Nurmagomedov‘s fight live and witnesses his rival’s retirement announcement. To the surprise of many, McGregor claps briefly, acknowledging the momentous event.
However, his subsequent comment reveals a mix of indifference and resilience. McGregor bluntly states – “ahh f*ck it. Although I know he has always had retirement on his mind. He has never really wanted it. I don’t really think. It is what it is. He says he has had a conversation with his mother, and talked to her for three days. So it is what it is, I couldn’t give a f*ck.” When someone asked McGregor if the former champ is disappointed that he will not get a rematch with his rival, he said – “It will happen. I don’t believe it. I’m good,” he added.
