Khabib Nurmagomedov believes Conor McGregor can change

Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor has not stepped inside the octagon for nearly four years due to his BKFC duties and political aspirations.

Fans and detractors have also criticized the Irishman for his recent actions and inappropriate public demeanor. However, despite the animosity, Khabib Nurmagomedov hopes McGregor can change.

'The Eagle' recently said:

"When you talk about religion, nation, and parents, it's finished. Everything that happened to him with women, alcohol, and drugs. This is punishment."

He added:

"Doesn't matter how bad you are, Allah always gives a chance to come back. He has chances. If he's going to change, he can change so many other lives, too. That's why I wish him to change himself."
