Conor McGregor Predicts Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC Comeb...MMAnytt.com

Conor McGregor is reveling in Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s recent tax issues with the Russian government. The rivalry between Khabib and McGregor was nothing short of explosive, and despite the years that have passed since their last encounter, the animosity remains intense.

UFC 229 went down in history when Khabib caused chaos in the arena after choking out McGregor and dominating him for several rounds. He then leaped over the cage to attack one of McGregor’s training partners, Dillon Danis. It was a humiliating experience for “The Notorious,” who has been calling for a rematch ever since the loss. However, Khabib retired shortly after and has been adamant that he would never fight McGregor again.

Financial Troubles and a Potential Comeback

Given Khabib’s reported financial problems, McGregor believes a comeback might be imminent for “The Eagle” – an opportunity he eagerly anticipates.

– It’s typical rat behavior, said McGregor about Khabib during a livestream. Cowardly rat. So, he has bills to pay. He’s had maybe two main events in the UFC, and he’s owing his balls to the Russian state. So, he’s going to have to pay that damn money he’s owing instead of funneling it out to other countries. I’m excited and very happy this has hit him.

McGregor thinks Khabib might be desperate for money, which could force him back into the octagon, where the superstar hopes to exact his revenge.

– We’ll all welcome him back to the fight game he’s run from. It’s a rat trap. The rat trap has been set. We’re looking forward to seeing how it plays out. We noticed a little rat scurrying around back there. We’ll see him again. The fat rat we can call him.

The buildup to the fight was marred by a series of personal attacks and confrontations, culminating in a post-fight brawl that spilled into the audience and resulted in several suspensions and fines.

Khabib’s dominance in the octagon, where he remained undefeated with a record of 29-0 before retiring, has only fueled McGregor’s desire for a rematch. Despite Khabib’s retirement, McGregor has continued to call him out, hoping to lure him back for one last fight.
