Gotham Chopra, director of a documentary about Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Conor McGregor, talked about how the Irish reacted to the defeat of Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The athletes met in the octagon in the fall of 2018, after which the victory went to Nurmagomedov. After much talk about the rematch, McGregor made very loud statements, but the second fight did not take place.
“There was a camera in the locker room, a lot of people, including Dana White. If you remember, after that fight there was real chaos, people rushed into the ring. Conor didn’t care. “That’s all. I lost.”
Of course he was disappointed but at the same time he tried to solve the problem right away: “Okay, how can I use this? How can I get off the ground, literally and figuratively? In an interview with director BroBible, Conor was not upset at all by the defeat,” he said.
Khabib has spent 29 fights in MMA, winning each of them. He spent his last fight defeating American Justin Gaethje in the fall of 2020. The duel ended ahead of schedule. The referee stopped the fight by determining Khabib’s victory.
Immediately after the fight, he announced the end of his professional career by announcing that he had promised his mother without his father, who passed away in July 2020. After his retirement, Nurmagomedov founded the Eagle FC promotion.
