In a span of eight years, Conor McGregor went from being a knockout artist on the fast track to global superstardom, to losing two of his last three fights. His last outing at UFC 257 last month against Dustin Poirier ended in a second-round knockout loss, a first in his career.
“The Notorious” already promised to come back strong from the loss as the UFC prepares for a trilogy bout with “The Diamond” in May. But for Khabib Nurmagomedov, the 32-year-old Irishman may never bounce back again.
“Never. There is no way that a man can be at the peak for two times,” Khabib said in a recent sitdown with ACA light heavyweight Magomed Ismailov.
