The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the fiercest rivalries in the sport’s history. There have been many instances where fighters have had an immense hatred for the opponent standing across the octagon from them. However, after a fight, mutual respect between the two men is established more often than not. 

That has not been the case with Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. There has perhaps never been a rivalry in MMA that has gotten so personal. Family, friends, and religion, among other things, have been dragged into the war of words between the two men. Mostly perpetuated by Conor McGregor.

However, if Conor McGregor can continue winning, he might soon cross paths with Nurmagomedov’s protege, Islam Makhachev. Perhaps the only way Conor McGregor can secure a rematch with Nurmagomedov is if he earns a dominant win over Islam Makhachev should the two men ever fight. 

What did you make of the Irish fighter’s latest barrage of insults to Khabib Nurmagomedov? Do you think they will fight for a second time?
