Fans Urge Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov to be Together
The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov dates back to April 2018, when Nurmagomedov and his team faced McGregor’s close friend and teammate Artem Lobov. The standoff led to a series of events in which McGregor attacked a bus carrying Nurmagomedov and other fighters, resulting in legal action for the Irish fighter.
The peak of their rivalry came in October 2018 when they met in a highly anticipated match at UFC 229. Nurmagomedov dominated the bout and eventually submitted McGregor with a rear-naked chokehold on him in the fourth round.
Fans hoping for a resolution between McGregor and Nurmagomedov are looking to other legendary rivalries in martial arts history for inspiration. A notable example is the fierce rivalry between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen.
