Media Conor McGregor, Paul Hughes slam Khabib Nurmagomedov on Dagestan-Ireland debate

They fought in 18 who gives a shit

I wonder why Khabib decides to take a shot a Ireland out of the blue, for no reason? He won his rivalry with McGregor, and McG doesn't need any help looking like an idiot. They got better fighters than Iceland too, but he isn't mentioning that. Maybe Khabib is a bit of an idiot himself.

Because Hughes is fighting Nurmagomedov, Kelly is fighting Magomedsharipov, Ibragimov is fighting Mokohoeana in PFL in 2 weeks and PFL interviewed him

Dagestan isn't a country. Its an area inside the country of Russia

when you can't beat someone in a fight, criticize their 'panache'.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

I mean, Khabib is right when he says Russia has produced more top fighters than Ireland. But it's kinda an unfair comparison. Russia has (I think) the 4th largest population out of every country on Earth (USA is #3, India is #2, China is #1) Ireland has less than half the population of New York City alone, much less a country where 150 million+ people live. So just by sheer odds alone, Russia is pretty much guaranteed to produce more top fighters than Ireland.
Also, be honest, you read the Conor part in his accent didn't you? I know I did.

Ireland has just over 5 million people. Dagestan has just over 3 million. Khabib never mentioned Russia, it’s a Dagestan vs Ireland comparison.

You were saying?

 

[Poirierfan]

He's actually a great fighter, Ireland's best since McGregor. Wish the UFC signed him

I remember who he is now, last time I saw him fight he impressed the shit out of me.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Dagestan is obviously above Ireland in MMA.

The world is a bit much.

Conor.

 

[Chayanne]

am a big fan of Khabib, but in this Khabib is 100% wrong. and if he does not admit that he is wrong then I have to think about whether I will remain a fan. A leader like him must always set a good example.

“Conor made you famous”

Yea, but this wasnt a discussion about who was more famous, and Khabib beat him up.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I thought Conor is going to church to get some help

 

[Bilzerian]

Those battered losers can bark

 

[MarioLemieux]

So Khabib beat Conor's ass so bad infront of so many people he became a superstar? That's a pretty weak brag.

Not like him and his team wouldn't have become popular anyway considering how many champs they have in all 3 major orgs already.

[civicesi]

TBH I don't even know who Paul Hugh is until Khabib said it. I know of Ian Garry but no clue on Paul.

Holy shit, a 21-year white belt.

Dagistan Better than any other country in the world khabib? Ok



Brazil > dagistan

U still in early 2000s? Khabib is talking about right now and I'm sure he knows the current amateur fight scene better than you

TBF he did go that one time.
And one time should be enough.
He is all better now and a good man.
