Getty Conor McGregor isn't interested in fight Jake Paul right now, but that could change someday soon.
The rivalry is here to stay.
Former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor didn’t miss a chance to rip into his foe, Khabib Nurmagomedov. April 7 marked the three-year anniversary of Nurmagomedov winning the UFC lightweight title at UFC 223, defeating Al Iaquinta via unanimous decision.
To mark the occasion, ESPN’s Brett Okamoto shared a video interview of himself with “The Eagle.” The two discussed the infamous bus incident that occurred two days prior to the event. McGregor threw a dolly at a bus Nurmagomedov was on, along with several other fighters, in an attempt to provoke the Russian.
Here’s the interview:
Three years ago today, Khabib Nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) became a UFC champion, but of course, the incident with Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) and the bus from two days before was still on his mind. What a week that was.
On Wednesday, “Notorious” replied to the interview clip with Nurmagomedov, writing, “My pleasure thank the bus driver.”
Barstool Sports’ Robbie Fox then replied to McGregor, sharing a video of himself protesting to “free Conor” after the incident. In the clip, Fox said that the bus driver “wanted” McGregor to throw the dolly.
Then, McGregor replied to a tweet from Nurmagomedov that was posted back in September 2014. The Eagle showed interest in getting a walkout t-shirt for McGregor’s UFC 178 bout with Dustin Poirier, writing, “I like this t-shirt, I need.”
On Wednesday, Notorious replied to Nurmagomedov’s tweet, writing, “Get this man a t shirt! And a nappy for the bus.”
