Former mixed martial artist (MMA) Khabib Nurmagomedov explained the mutual hatred and dislike between him and Conor McGregor. The Russian became a guest of the Full Send Podcast on YouTube.
33-year-old Nurmagomedov believes that it was the presence of common goals in sports between him and the Irishman that predetermined their confrontation. He remembered their fight in the fall of 2018 at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament. As Nurmagomedov noted, he was disappointed with what the Irishman showed in the cage. “I was preparing for a real war,” the Russian emphasized.
In the same conversation, Nurmagomedov named McGregor’s forte. According to the Russian, the Irishman is distinguished by good psychological preparation.
Nurmagomedov became the UFC lightweight champion. He defended the belt three times, after which he left the sport.
