The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is one that is perhaps the most fierce rivalry in the history of the sport. There have been many instances where fighters have had immense hatred for the opponent standing across the octagon from them. However, more often than not, after a fight, mutual respect between the two men is established.
However, that is not the case when it comes to Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. There has perhaps never been a rivalry in MMA that has gotten so personal. Family, friends, religion among other things have been dragged into the war of words between the two men. Mostly perpetuated by Conor McGregor.

Can Conor McGregor entice Khabib Nurmagomedov to a rematch?
As he has done multiple times in the past, ‘The Notorious’ took to Twitter to bash his foe ‘The Eagle’. McGregor initially replied to a tweet by a fan. The tweet stated he cheated during the fight as he pointed out a few instances. The Irish superstar then followed it up with a barrage of insults aimed at Nurmagomedov. McGregor also went on to brand his foe a homophobic as well.

This is not the first time Conor McGregor has crossed the line when it comes to the Dagestani champion and it most definitely will not be the last time. McGregor has a big task on hand as he prepares for a rematch against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
If he were to win the fight, he would establish himself as a top lightweight once again. However, if he fails to win the fight, the damage to his career would be immense. Furthermore, McGregor would be aiming to get a rematch against Nurmagomedov. However, ‘The Eagle’ is happily retired at the moment and has no intentions of coming back.
However, if Conor McGregor is able to continue winning, he might cross paths with Nurmagomedov’s protege Islam Makhachev at some point in the not too distant future. Perhaps the only way Conor McGregor secures a rematch with Nurmagomedov is if he earns a dominant win over Islam Makhachev should the two men ever fight.
