Khabib Nurmagomedov, speaking at a religious gathering, suggested that despite Conor McGregor‘s troubled history, he still has a chance to reform and positively influence others.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor have always had a rocky relationship. Yet, Khabib hasn’t entirely written off his old rival.
McGregor’s name has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. From a civil suit for sexual assault in Dublin to his infamous “bad boy” reputation, his antics have kept him in the spotlight.
In April 2018, McGregor’s feud with Khabib escalated when he attacked a bus carrying the former UFC lightweight champ. He threw a dolly through a window, causing chaos.
Recently, at a Muslim gathering in New York, Khabib addressed McGregor’s behavior. He suggested that McGregor seek redemption.
“I don’t want to mention his name,” Khabib stated. He described McGregor’s troubles as punishment for his actions, but also emphasized the chance for redemption.
McGregor’s rap sheet is extensive, including a 2019 assault on an elderly man in a Dublin pub. He’s also facing another civil suit for an alleged 2023 incident in Miami.
Despite their past, Khabib believes McGregor has a duty to change for his fans. He defeated McGregor at UFC 229, but insists there’s more at stake than just their rivalry.
“This is the most beautiful thing,” Khabib remarked. He believes McGregor has the opportunity to turn his life around and positively impact others.
Khabib’s message is clear: redemption is possible, and McGregor has the power to inspire change. Watch the clip below for more insights from Championship Rounds.
