In the Octagon Khabib treats McGregor like a child – Khabib Nurmagomedov reminisced about the time when he slaughtered Conor McGregor at UFC 229 and the enemy started like a child to let down his father’s wrath.
Khabib versus McGregor is a legendary match in the UFC. The trash talk that McGregor did as far as battle preparations plus a few other actions such as the bus attack made Khabib really come to the octagon with great anger.
Khabib said if McGregor was still active, let out trash talk at the start of the battle. But as time went on, his demeanor became muddy.
“Trash talk from Conor? Yes he did for a while but when I started to push him he started saying, ‘this is all just business’.”
“I’m a little sad for him. At first I thought he had a strong psyche,” said Khabib taken from MMA News.
Khabib even mentions McGregor as a child trying to persuade his angry father.
“When I pushed him on the mat, spoke to him, he just said it was just a business.”
“He seemed to be trying to calm me down to avoid absolute defeat, like a child trying to justify his actions in the face of an angry father. The psychic aspect is the most powerful weapon,” said Khabib,
Khabib was not consumed by McGregor’s efforts and was still concentrating on the tactics he had prepared. Finally, Khabib was able to win by submission in the 4th round by locking the neck crank.
Khabib just started showing his anger after the match. Khabib was instigated by Dillon Danis outside the ring and ended up wreaking havoc after the match. McGregor gets an onslaught from Khabib’s partners.
Khabib was eventually banned from competing after the incident although he deserves to be grateful the title was not withdrawn.
Khabib is now retired and has said he is not interested in a rematch offer against McGregor. Khabib said he had defeated McGregor absolutely and did not need to go back to prove it.
