The ongoing feud between UFC stars Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor continued today on social media.<\/p>\n
The bitter rivals most recent exchange surrounded some comments made by ‘The Eagle’ during Friday’s UFC 249 press conference in Las Vegas. Following a heated staredown with soon to be opponent Tony Ferguson, where the undefeated Russian appeared to lose his cool by kicking<\/a> the Americans belt, Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke to ESPN<\/a> where he revealed the reason behind his actions.<\/p>\n “Honestly, when I go to the press conference I think I want to be nice. You know I don’t want to go crazy. You know? But, when he talk about street fight, I go a little bit… A little bit crazy, yes.” Khabib Nurmagomedov explained. “Because this guy never fight in street. What are you talking about? Who? You know, I have a lot of fight in street. This guy never fight. Because in America, you cannot fight in street. But I grew up in Dagestan, everyday I fight in the street. You talk about street fight?”<\/p>\n Khabib Nurmagomedov continued:<\/p>\n “Because people don’t understand. Maybe people think I am like him from America. But I am not from America. You know? I am from Dagestan and we fight all the time here. Like in school, like in everywhere. Gym. Like I have a lot of fights in street and when he talk about street fight, I no understand. This guy never fight in street.”<\/p>\n Today, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor took exception to Khabib’s recent comments and taunted the promotions reigning lightweight champion with the following post on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheNotoriousMMA\/status\/1236735413685010441<\/p>\n Shortly after, Khabib Nurmagomedov would responds to McGregor with the following:<\/p>\n Heeeelp pic.twitter.com\/f9gv9QeF4Y<\/a><\/p>\n — khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) March 8, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
