Conor McGregor has never missed an opportunity to bash ‘The Eagle’. He frequently posts Tweets targeting him and his team. Even ‘The Eagle’ answers him occasionally.

Nurmagomedov has retired from the sport and has transitioned well into the role of a coach. He will most likely be present in the corner of Umar Nurmagomedov at the UFC 272 PPV. If the Irishman accept this offer, the UFC would need more security to handle the chaos.
