His cousin Abubakar Nurmagomedov has a fight coming up at UFC on ESPN 46, and that is one of the primary reasons behind the Hall of Famer’s return to AKA. Javier Mendez said, “He just happens to be here helping with Abubakar now, his cousin.” Moreover, the AKA coach has asked the fans to not hope for much because ‘The Eagle’ won’t be cornering every fighter.

Conor McGregor goes off on Matt Brown

‘Notorious’ is at his trash-talking best yet again. UFC veteran Matt Brown appeared in an interview on Michael Bisping‘s YouTube channel. He made some bold remarks about Conor McGregor after the Irishman claimed that he would overtake his knockout record in the UFC. ‘The Immortal’ claimed that the former double champion is a ‘nobody’ while crediting him for all his achievements in the promotion.

Keeping in mind that a fight with McGregor could be a financial boon, Brown expressed his interest in going head-to-head with the Irishman. However, Conor McGregor would never let those types of comments slide. He took a jibe at ‘The Immortal’s previous struggles with substance abuse in a tweet which he later deleted. Brown has been very open about his past struggles, but McGregor’s comments may have left a very sour taste in his mouth. Would you like to see a grudge match between these two veterans?
