Even after losing to Dustin Poirier Saturday night, Conor McGregor wants another shot at Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Khabib turned heads by criticizing McGregor on Twitter after his UFC 257 loss:
McGregor clarified at his post-fight press conference that “my team has been with me since day one” but also called on the current lightweight champion to back up his words.
“If he wants to have his disrespectful comments, come back and let’s go again, my man,” McGregor said. “I’m here for it. That’s fighting talk. If you’re coming back, come back. You try and do it. That’s that.”
Nurmagomedov announced his retirement after defeating Justin Gaethje in October.
