Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov took part in arguably the biggest fight in UFC history. The rivalry between the two larger-than-life fighters made the fight extremely intriguing. Despite the fight having taken place two years ago, both fighters still maintain immense hatred for each other. 

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov have both taken to social media multiple times to ridicule each other. The re-match between the two fighters is something most MMA fans are desperate to see. However, it is well known that Khabib will not fight for a lot longer, and he maintains that he has no interest in fighting McGregor. 

Conor McGregor makes his case for winning a few rounds against Khabib Nurmagomedov

Conor McGregor took to Twitter to justify why he won certain rounds in the fight. He responded to a tweet by a fan that claimed that MacGregor was not “dominated” like most people claim. Also, that a motivated McGregor would win the re-match. 

To this, Conor replied saying, “On the mula! Round 1’s mine. Out struck 3-1. Elbow,knees,clatters! He held on. 2s his but I land multiple knees. One from standing after the overhand, and one from bottom into the eye socket at kimura attempt. Not a scratch end of round also. I won round 3, and 4 until the trip.”

In the fight at UFC 229, Khabib landed 104 total strikes with a 66% hits to the head. He could also land 70 significant strikes with 58% accuracy. ‘The Eagle’ also secured 12:15 minutes of control time on the ground over the duration of the fight. 

‘The Notorious’ also argued that round 1 was won by him.

 “Damage! Back hands forced him to the fence. Knee into neck as he shot, after 15 seconds of opening bell. Heavy elbow right into his temple as he froze after his shot. Repeated clatters to the temple while he tries his mermaid wrap leg. Rd was 1 pitiful from him. Rd 2 saved him.”

Though the fight between the two men was exciting, the brawl that transpired after the fight and the bad blood between the two camps is something that has dominated the headlines ever since. However, Conor McGregor did fare better than most MMA fans and pundits had predicted. Ultimately, he too could not stop Khabib Nurmagomedov like the 26 others before him.

‘The Notorious’ makes a good case for winning a few rounds. However, ultimately it does not matter as the fight never went to a decision, anyway. MMA fans and Conor himself will be hoping we get a re-match as soon as possible.

Do you agree with Conor McGregor’s assessment of the fight? Do you think he won the rounds he claims to have won? Or do you think it’s a desperate attempt to get a re-match?
