It’s been over 3 years now since Conor McGregor last fought in the UFC. But that doesn’t keep him away from the UFC related headlines. This time around, McGregor finds himself in the spotlight again for being a crybaby. Following UFC’s decision to release the Full Fight Footage which included some nasty unmuted clips from the showdown between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, the Irish fighter has reportedly unfollowed UFC on Instagram.
Though there is quite a plausible reason for Conor to unfollow UFC, it still did not go well with Khabib fans and those who don’t appreciate Conor much, as they have started calling him a crybaby. The recently released clips reveals that Khabib Nurmagomedov actually spit on Conor McGregor while being separated by the referee Herb Dean, during their fight 6 years ago.
The fight has been written down in the annals of UFC history as one of the greatest rivalries ever and will be forever etched in the memories of MMA Fans. Khabib dominated McGregor throughout the fight, but Mystic Mac has a knack of talking big about the fights he has lost as if he really did something in them. And for the past 6 years Conor has been doing exactly that. While in that period, post the Khabib fight, McGregor has managed to win only one out of his 3 fights.
Apart from the spitting incident, the footage also shows the infamous, “Let’s talk now” incident, where Khabib is hammering Conor into a darker reality as he says that infamous quote. With a violation unfolding inside the Octagon, Abubakar Nurmagomedov, Khabib’s cousin is seen shouting, “Kill Him.”
The footage has also revealed a conversation between Khabib and Islam Makhachev that happened between rounds in which Islam and Khabib were seen mocking a tired Conor McGregor. Makhachev is heard saying, “Khabib, he’s dying there on his stool. Look at him, just take a look. He couldn’t walk.” Hearing this Khabib takes a better look at Conor and says, “F***ing b***h.”
The final nail in the coffin though was what Khabib said to Conor after submitting him“B***h!. I f***ed you up! I f***ed you up, b***h!” Well if it was any other fight from McGregor’s lenghty career catalgoue, Mystic Mac couldv’e been able to stomach the footage. But not with this one.
The defeat against Khabib will forever hunt Conor McGregor, and UFC untimely reminder 6 years down the line was no great help. McGregor followed this up by blatantly unfollowing the UFC on Instagram, showing his insecurities regarding the Khabib loss.
