Conor McGregor likes to spend the holidays thinking about Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor was destroyed by “The Eagle” atop the UFC 229 pay-per-view (PPV) event back in late 2018 and has not stopped ruminating
on the loss. It’s been over seven years since their record-breaking clash and Nurmagomedov has been retired since 2020 — but “Notorious” can’t seem to let go.
“There is just no way good guy Khabib used his late fathers name, as well as Dagestan’s culture, to scam his fans and fire sell a bunch of digital NFT’s online and then delete all of the content after they were sold, leaving his fans robbed of their money,“ McGregor wrote on X. ”There is just no way good guys do this. What a shame and a stain on his father’s name.“
McGregor is referring to Nurmagomedov’s online auction that took place earlier this week.
“To scam fans using his father and his countries culture is just so low,” McGregor continued. “Father’s plan has now become Father’s scam. Very sad. On the opposite side of this, it was great to see Islam Mack honor his own father by putting the double world titles on his shoulders and saying ‘there is not many fathers of double world champions!’ Truth.”
Not surprisingly, “The Eagle” was quick to respond.
“You absolute liar,“ Nurmagomedov fired back. ”You will always try to darken my name, after you got destroyed that night, but you will never achieve that! Yes, good guys don’t do that. They don’t create exclusive digital gifts with real time value, that you can share with your friends and family. Gifts in the shape of Papakha — hat that symbolize traditions and culture of Dagestan people. Traditions and culture that slowly walking over this world, whether you like it or not!“
Considering everything McGregor has gotten himself into over the years, he’s probably the last person to be pointing fingers. The former UFC two-division champion, currently suspended for a drug testing violation, recently had his brain saved by Jesus (his words) while sucking on root bark in Mexico.
“Notorious” is loosely attached to the UFC White House event next June.
