Last week, Conor McGregor abruptly announced that he was retiring from mixed martial arts. However, his most recent opponent reportedly doesn't believe that the hiatus will last for long.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, who defeated McGregor at UFC 229 in October, reportedly commented on McGregor's retirement while speaking at a university in Moscow on Tuesday.
He said that McGregor "couldn't reach a deal with the UFC, and it's so they feel they've lost him and they could lose money," according to ESPN.
McGregor has been pushing for UFC ownership shares, however UFC president Dana White shot down the possibility during an interview with KLAS-TV on Sunday.
