It is public knowledge that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor have a lot of bad blood between them. Khabib has now come out with a fresh jab at the Notorious One in an interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.

Unsurprisingly, McGregor had a lot to say about Khabib pulling out of the fight with Tony Ferguson at UFC 249. The Irishman claims that Khabib has chickened out of the fight. And went on to goad Khabib to “add me in” to his Instagram Live session on Thursday.

Khabib fires back with a scathing jab at the Irish southpaw. The Dagestani fighter claims that Conor’s time is up. But he keeps on asserting himself in situations in search of attention.

“You know what I feel, he look like old p********* who want attention. His time is done. Just tell him, and that’s it.”- Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib ruled out the possibility of breaking the Coronavirus quarantine to compete at UFC 249. The location of which, still remains uncertain.

Dana White has been trying to make the fight a possibility by using any means possible, despite the global pandemic. However, governments ruling to enforce lockdown all across the world is becoming a huge hurdle for the UFC.

Tony Ferguson was also open to the idea and said, “nobody deserves that ass whooping besides two people. McNuggets [McGregor] and Team Tiramisu [Khabib]”. However, Khabib in the interview talks doubles down on his feeling about Conor taking up his spot.

“Tony always is gonna be there, but I no understand this guy [McGregor] talk about he’s in good shape. When I smash him last time he says my foot is bad or something like this. How is he in good shape now? When I smash his face and he tap, he says it was my bad shape. Now we talk about ‘I am good shape, I can come in’.”- Khabib Nurmagomedov

It seems like some feuds never die out. Settling rivalries inside the cage is one way to go about it. However, the animosity some fighters bear for each other extends beyond the confines of an octagon.
