Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov asked welterweights fighters to boycott Colby Covington after he pressed charges against Jorge Masvidal for attacking the former in Miami on Monday. Here's how the UFC fighters reacted to it.
Following Nurmagomedov's comments, his arch-rival Conor McGregor took a cheap shot at him by Tweeting, "He’d just go up to middleweight cos he’s not a fat f****." However, he deleted the Tweet later.
The surging UFC heavyweight star Tai Tuivasa reposted Nurmagomedov's message on his Instagram story and wrote, "Once a rat, always a rat."
The Russian interim bantamweight champion Yan backed Nurmagomedov by reposting his message on his Instagram story. He also tagged Jorge Masvidal.
The rising star of UFC 'Suga' was against Nurmagomedov's 'Boycott Covington' idea and also slammed Petr Yan for supporting it.
The former UFC lightweight champion Pettis, while backing Nurmagomedov, posted his message on his official Instagram page.
