A rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov may look further away than ever after the dramatic events of UFC 257, but Conor McGregor is still trying to goad his great rival into a return.
The retired UFC lightweight champ mocked McGregor after his shock second-round TKO defeat by Dustin Poirier on Sunday.
“This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality,” Nurmagomedov (29-0) tweeted.
When the Russian’s words were put to the former two-weight champ at the post-event press conference inside Etihad Arena, the Irishman bristled, his cool and calm demeanour vanishing.
