Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov have no love lost between them. But, a parody video of UFC President Dana White taking Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje to space for their UFC Interim Lightweight Championship fight has the fighters looking like best friends. 

Conor McGregor and Kahbib Nurmagomedov featured as pals in a spoof video

They sneak onboard the capsule with ‘Notorious’ brazenly voicing the pair’s evil intentions. “We’re not here just here to take part. We’re here to take over.”

‘The Eagle’ remained calm and motioned his enemy over. Later ‘Notorious’ seemingly rescued The Eagle from space. He said, “let’s go, brother.”

They left White, ‘El Cucuy, and ‘The Highlight’ on the moon and in cartoonish fashion chanted, “Let’s Wrestle, let’s wrestle, let’s wrestle.”

 

Later, the duo engaged in a hilarious battle whilst steering the space pod. Saying, “the king is back” and “only one king in the jungle” as they reclaimed the driver’s seat. Their squabble led to the pod bouncing around in space like an empty can before Georges St-Pierre made an appearance to end the petty squabble. It was a reference to him claiming he can beat the present-day fighters. 

In addition to the spoof on White and ‘GSP’, we also see a troll on ‘The Eagle’s tiramisu and ‘Notorious’ left hand. As the pod fell to earth, the two fighters emerged from it and shared a light chuckle about what transpired in space.

The video is just a fantasy attempt to show them in a light situation. However, the beef between the two is prominent. ‘Notorious’ launched an attack on the bus at UFC 223’s media day. The Eagle’ was the target as he had gotten into a scuffle with ‘Notorious’ friend Artem Lobov.

6 months later the two fought at UFC 229. ‘Notorious’ tapped in the 4th round. There was an Octagon side brawl immediately after this. The fighters continue to trade shots at each other. ‘The Eagle’ like many other fighters trolls ‘Notorious’ for tapping out. Not one to take things lying down, the Irishman mocked the Dagestani fighter’s leg wrap calling it a “mermaid leg wrap.”

‘Notorious’ is promised the winner of the Lightweight Championship. However, it looks set to be a long wait as the Coronavirus pandemic has scuppered the UFC’s best-laid plans.
