Khabib Nurmagomedov: Rivalry with Conor McGregor will ‘never be finished’ | ESPN MMA

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov sits down with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto for the first time since the events surrounding UFC 229. Khabib discusses what he’s been up to since the fight, the downsides of fame and what he’ll do whenever he ends his career. (8:18) Nurmagomedov looks back to his win over Conor McGregor and says that the rivalry between the two will never be finished. He adds that he'd fight him even if it meant going to jail. (14:30) Khabib evaluates the challenge Dustin Poirier proposes at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi, but expresses confidence that “The Diamond” won’t be able to handle his pressure.

[@MrBlick76]

Im just a yank half Irishman but I completely agree with you. The Irish pride that came with Conor left a long time ago probably when he fought Mayweather. He became a gimmick from that point on. Khabib , ferguson, Diaz are tried and true warriors and the fans have spoken. We respect the ones that have respect and give respect. The trash talk was a gimmick but if you can't back it up and then you sell out and start sucker punching older men in bars, you become indefensible. It's a sad fall for what once made me proud or my Irish heritage. Our hope is in Tyson fury now lol. He's a true boxer with an Irish bloodline and his story is truly inspirational to me.

@@fodwyer9252 that's what's so great about Tyson fury. He's such a caring personable guy. All us Yanks knew about travelers was Brad Pitt as Mickey in Snatch. So to see a real life bareknuckle Irish boxing lineage dominating like he has makes me feel he's the true Irish king. Conor was entertaining but there are lines you shouldn't ever cross. Family religion etc. Especially coming from where khabib is from. That was unforgivable. Im sure life in crumlin was tough. But compared to Dagestan life? Can't compare. Conor disrespected his father and forgot to never underestimate ones pride and skill. Khabib will never ever let this go. And that's sad because khabib is a good man.

@@dagerdickboyyo9781 you are mistaking me for a Khabib fan boy. By the way I've been watching Dustin since the wec days . I don't think that khabib has faced a murderers row of elite competition by any stretch . His record is just as padded as conors is. Time will tell if khabib is truly legit. I'd perfer Dustin to win over khabib personally, but I won't be upset if it goes the other way . Conor doesn't deserve another gifted title fight period, at any weight class . He wants to say he's the man , time to prove it with out hand picked opponents, he won't though , too much risk to damage his rep/ business ventures. He will continue to play the wild man outside the cage ,and run his mouth without facing anyone dangerous.
