Habib Nurmagomedorf (33, Russia) mocked Conor McGregor (33, Ireland), who suffered the first TKO defeat in his career.

McGregor lost TKO in the second round of the match against Lightweight Dustin Poirier (34, USA) at the UFC 257 main event held at Etihad Stadium in Yas Island, UAE on the 24th (Korean time).

McGregor was one of the UFC’s best stars, conquering both featherweight and lightweight at the same time. Then, in June of last year, he suddenly declared his retirement, saying, “The game has become boring,” and on that day, he made a blitz against Poirier. But the result was poor.

McGregor showed confidence, saying, “I will finish it in 60 seconds” ahead of the game. However, he lost his face after experiencing the defeat of TKO for the first time in his career in the Octagon return match.

After McGregor’s defeat, Habib took a step through SNS. “I showed you what happens when you sparr with young kids, not the sparring partner who changed teams and made you a champion,” said Habib.

Meanwhile, with McGregor’s defeat, it became unclear whether the UFC would pursue a confrontation between McGregor and Habib. Habib retired after leaving an undefeated record with 29 wins against lightweight 29. In October 2018, he defeated McGregor.
