Khabib Fires Back At “Lowlife” Conor McGregor Over Insults
Khabib fires back at Conor McGregor over the recent insults he made while they were trading words on social media.
There is no love lost in the bad blood between McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Part of the highlights from that trade was McGregor bringing up Khabib’s religion and wife while Nurmagomedov returned fire by calling the Irishman a “rapist.”
The UFC lightweight champion recently did an interview with RT Sport where he talked about the recent exchange. At one point, Khabib called the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion a ‘lowlife’ for talking trash from thousands of kilometers away.
The reason for that mindset is due to McGregor not saying anything while they were fighting back in October.
“He always wants to be in the headlines. If you noticed, after each UFC event he makes comments, he praises those who win or insults someone. This is his way of self-promoting, that’s how he makes headlines all the time. It works for him, he knows what he’s doing and I got no problem with that, he can say whatever he wants. But inside of the cage, he didn’t say anything.
“When I was hitting him in the face with my elbows and knees, when I said ‘let’s talk’ he didn’t respond. And now, when he is thousands of kilometers away, he is saying things.
“That just shows what kind of lowlife he really is. I have no problem with that because we were one on one in the cage. When he was on the floor he didn’t speak to me and that is what really matters.”
