Islam Makhachev's coach admits losing respect for Conor McGregor
During the build-up for UFC 229, Conor McGregor was unrestricted in his trash talk towards Khabib Nurmagomedov. Javier Mendez, who was the head coach of 'The Eagle,' recently shared his perspective on the feud. He also went on to disavow 'The Notorious's' actions and claimed to dislike him.
On the Overdogs Podcast with Mike Perry, Mendez had this to say:
"Conor [McGregor], he was an ace striker. He hasn't been the same after that loss with Khabib. He went down, and obviously, I don't really like him because he use dirty tactics. You want to talk about a fighter? Go ahead, free game. But you talked about religion, you talked about family, you talked about country. I don't respect fighters do that. I love a fighter that sticks to the fighter."
