Khabib: “The hardest fight in my career – in which I fought in 2018”

Nurmagomedov does not name McGregor

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov answered the question about the most difficult fight of his career. The Russian called the fight, which took place in 2018, but did not remember the name of Conor.

“I think it would be wrong to single out one person. The hardest one is the one I fought in October 2018. This confrontation was more difficult emotionally than physically. Also a difficult fight was with Gleison Tibau in 2012. It was very difficult emotionally to fight Dustin Poirier because my father was in the corner. I then realized the responsibility, ”Nurmagomedov said.

Recall that the fight between Nurmagomedov and McGregor took place on October 6, 2018. Then Khabib won by choke in the fourth round. After the fight between the teams of athletes, a brawl began.

Nurmagomedov announced his retirement after the fight with Justin Gaethje.
