Conor McGregor Sounds Off On Khabib’s ‘Coward’ Father
It’s high time Conor McGregor sounds off on Khabib Nurmagomedov prior to them stepping inside the Octagon for the gold.
With the way that McGregor promotes his fights, it was just a matter of time before he took a shot at someone close to the UFC lightweight champion. The reason for this is due to mental warfare as he likes to get inside of the head of his opponent when they’re preparing for battle.
The Fight
The ex-UFC lightweight and featherweight champ is slated to challenge the UFC lightweight champ for the title at the UFC 229 event. Aside from messing with the champ, McGregor’s latest shot was due to the recent comments made by Nurmagomedov’s father and coach.
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov conducted an interview where he questioned McGregor’s title reign as lightweight champion. He also bragged about how his son’s wrestling would be too much for McGregor.
Conor McGregor Sounds Off
Obviously, that didn’t sit well with the former champion. Therefore earlier today (Friday, August 24, 2018) he took to his official Instagram account where he called Abdulmanap a “quivering coward.” Check it out right here:
“@abdulmanap.nurmagomedov I can see you. Cowering behind fake respect. Just like your middle child. A quivering coward.”
Nurmagomedov is not backing down either as he has gone on record by stating that he plans to make McGregor pay for his actions. Those actions obviously include McGregor’s attack on a bus which Nurmagomedov was riding during UFC 223 fight week.
The upcoming UFC 229 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, October 6, 2018, from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.
