When Khabib Nurmagomedov appeared on Mike Tyson’s podcast, it was only a matter of time before he discussed his arch-nemesis, Conor McGregor. Although Khabib v McGregor took place in 2018, Conor has maintained an antagonistic approach to Nurmagomedov, despite Khabib’s retirement and Conor’s declining MMA record.
Khabib said of McGregor’s recent Tweets regarding the Russian’s recently deceased father: “When he talked about this, only evil can talk about your father, like wife, kids, religion.
Khabib Lets Loose on “Drunk” “Evil” McGregor
If you’re a normal human, you’re never going to talk about this stuff.” Khabib seems to attribute McGregor’s antagonism and “evil” approach to substance abuse. This is a position his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, shares, insinuating that Conor isn’t just sampling his own supply of Proper 12, but perhaps flirting with harder substances.
For me, I think he posted this tweet, drunk too much or [had done] something.
He always delete these tweets. When he become normal, [he looked at his phone] and said, ‘Oh, what I did.’ Then he delete. This is my opinion, what he does all the time.”
Although Mike Tyson posited that in the fight game, there are no boundaries for trash talk, Khabib has to draw a line somewhere.
“When someone is not with us, he is not even alive, this shows you what you have inside, this shows, like, how dirty you are.
When you are one of the best in the world, and you come and you punch someone like 70 years old, like an old man, this shows your heart.
This shows who you are inside, how dirty you are. When you have parents and you have kids, how can you show yourself like this? I don’t understand why his close people don’t tell him, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’”
Perhaps McGregor’s exorbitant wealth and a chorus of sycophants is to blame for this behavior. ““When you become rich, when you become famous, some people, they lose real people around them.
They lose them. Because real people who love you, they’re going to tell you the truth. But fake people? They always say, ‘You’re good. You’re good. You’re good.’ They never say to you nothing, because they don’t want to upset you, because they know they’ll lose this comfortable spot.
Real people, they don’t care about this. They were with you before you became famous and rich, and they don’t care about your money, they don’t care about your fame. They just love you. And when they say to you the truth, you don’t like this because of your ego.
I think he lost a lot of people around him. I don’t think he has people who were with him before when he became champion. Everybody needs someone who reminds you, ‘Hey you’re doing this, this is bad, this is good.’ This is life.”
Do you agree with Khabib? Is Conor McGregor off the rails? Let us know in the comments.
