Conor McGregor suffered a gruesome leg-break at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. McGregor’s arch-rival and former opponent, Khabib Nurmagomedov kept a close eye on how things unfolded at the pay-per-view main event. Two of his former opponents clashed for the third time with Poirier coming out as the winner after a doctor’s stoppage at the end of the first round due to McGregor’s injury.
McGregor, despite looking sharp early in the fight, had to cope with a second straight loss against Poirier. And Nurmagomedov believes the Irish fighter has been punished by god due to his arrogant character. He asked ‘The Notorious’ to be more humble.
