In the aftermath of Khabib Nurmagomedov's impressive win over Dustin Poirier at UFC 242, former two-division UFC World Champion Conon McGregor took to social media and sent out his mandatory post-event tweet, as The Notorious One called out Nurmagomedov to a rematch in Moscow.
UFC 229- Khabib vs McGregor
At UFC 229 in 2018, Conor McGregor made his highly awaited return to the Octagon for the first time in almost three years since his win over Nate Diaz at UFC 202. Upon his return to the Octagon, McGregor immediately challenged for the UFC Lightweight Championship, which was won by Khabib at UFC 223 when he defeated Al Iaquinta in a dominating performance.
At UFC 229, Nurmagomedov absolutely obliterated the Irishman, as he dominated the latter on the ground with his immense power and his impressive style of wrestling. The Eagle eventually made McGregor tap out to a nasty neck crank submission in the fourth round of the bout.
