Khabib Nurmagomedov on Potential McGregor Bout: ‘We Have to Finish This Beef’

The rivalry between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor reached a new level during UFC 223 fight week.

A few days after Nurmagomedov confronted Artem Lobov, McGregor’s SBG Ireland teammate, at the fighter’s hotel, the “Notorious” one and his entourage crashed the Barclays Center — with disastrous results. On Thursday, McGregor attacked a bus carrying Nurmagomedov and other UFC fighters, and the Irishman shattered one of the windows by throwing a dolly at it.

While McGregor was attempting to get at Nurmagomedov, the end result of his actions was that scheduled UFC 223 competitors Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg were forced off the card due to injuries suffered in the attack.
