McGregor reignites feud with rival Khabib: ‘No courage’
Does McGregor believe his old rival Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the all-time greats?
“Come on, the guy’s done nothing in the sport, he’s done nothing in the sport,” McGregor told Complex. “Thirteen fights he’s had in the company, that’s it, and three against named opponents.
“He had a fight against me coming off… I was off the yacht, I was doing bad things on the yacht, yeah? I was partying heavily, and I was up to my eyeballs in court cases and all of this. I hadn’t fought in two years, I was worth 200 million.
“I come back and fight this f***ing guy. I done four rounds with him. I had a broken toe; I’m sure you’ve seen the Netflix show, where I broke my f***ing foot three weeks before the bout.”
