You had to figure it wouldn’t take too long for someone in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s camp to respond to Conor McGregor’s recent Instagram post.
In a Monday night post which as of Tuesday evening has received more than 2.7M likes, McGregor gave what many considered a clear-headed response to his fourth-round submission loss to Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC 229 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion broke down what he thought he did wrong; what Nurmagomedov did right; and indicated he’s fine with taking a bout other than an immediate rematch.
