In the combat sports world, there are always a bunch of rivalries that hook in fans across various sporting boundaries. In the UFC, too, there are huge feuds between fighters. However, the rift between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor holds different significance altogether, and it is by far the biggest rivalry in the sport.

The duo met each other inside the octagon in 2018, wherein ‘The Eagle’ demolished the Irishman in every way. Despite that, the latter never misses a chance to mock his Russian rival verbally or through his social handles. That said, a few days back, ‘The Notorious’ issued a scathing tweet on Nurmagomedov’s late father, which he deleted later.
