Going into the promotion for UFC 229, it was expected that Conor McGregor would have a lot to say. After all, he’s built his career on talking trash and then (mostly) backing it up in the cage. His opponent, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, is generally more reserved when it comes to the schtick.
But he has never been shy about taking shots at McGregor in particular, and today at the UFC 229 open workouts, that extended to Conor’s friends and countrymen.
After doing a quick workout where he was booed and harassed by McGregor fans, many of which were Irish, Khabib grabbed a mic and took some shots of his own.
