UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov called rival Conor McGregor an "idiot" during an appearance Wednesday in Russia.
Nurmagomedov, who defeated McGregor by submission in October 2018, was asked during a Q&A session with school kids whether he'd accept a rematch in Moscow and said he thinks that offer was a bluff from the Irish superstar, per RT Sport.
"Honestly, I don't think he wants that fight," he said. "How is that so? I beat him up for four rounds. I beat him and choked him and he tapped. It was a sign he didn't want to be there, 'Let me go please' and all that.
