Conor McGregor has had a blast watching the troubles of his former rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Recently, the ’Notorious’ went on a rant during a live stream on the official Duelbits channel. In response to a question about Nurmagomedov, McGregor discussed his opinions on the current tax dispute with the ‘Eagle’.
Conor McGregor called Khabib Nurmagomedov a ‘Scurrying Rat’ and was pleased to learn about his latest allegations. According to McGregor, Nurmagomedov will soon be back in the fight business to earn more money. Here’s what the former double champion said;
That's typical rat behavior. Scurrying rat so he has bills to pay. Fight for legacy? Two main events or something he has in the UFC and he owes his bollocks to the Russian government…So, I'm ecstatic and delighted that that's coming on top of him and we all will welcome him back into the fight game where he's ran from. It's a rat trap… We see him back around. Fat rat we call him. Conor McGregor via Duelbits live stream
Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s rivalry is thought to be one of the nastiest in the UFC. One of the biggest pay-per-view events in the promotion’s history was the result of the rivalry back in 2018. It appears that McGregor is still not quite over his loss to the Dagestani. That merely clarifies the Irishman’s happiness over Nurmagomedov’s current circumstances.
