As every fight fan will remember, Conor McGregor said some very nasty things about Khabib Nurmagomedov, including calling him a “smelly Dagestani rat” and his manager a “terrorist snitch” in the leadup to UFC 229 (as well as after the fight).
McGregor later tried to backpedal and claim it was all for show and just to hype the fight, something he paid dearly for once the fight was actually underway.
Following his press conference in Moscow on Thursday where he announced his plans for 2020 and his return to the octagon on January 18th in Las Vegas, one man from Dagestan took a page out of McGregor’s playbook by throwing something (hey, turnabout is fair play) that appeared to be a bottle at McGregor after scolding him for the things he said about his home country.
Here’s another angle of the toss…
I guess this is yet another case of if you’re going to come a the champ (champ), you’d better not miss, huh?
