Khabib Nurmagomedov has once again stirred his long-standing rivalry with Conor McGregor.
At UFC 229, which took place on October 6, 2018, Khabib `The Eagle` Nurmagomedov decisively defeated Conor `The Notorious` McGregor, dominating him before securing a fourth-round submission.
Despite some opinions suggesting a prime McGregor might have posed a greater challenge, on that night, Nurmagomedov was clearly the superior fighter and claimed a definitive victory.
Now, years later, the former lightweight champion is still reminding McGregor of that defeat.
