Two weeks ahead of his comeback fight against ‘Cowboy’ in the headliner of UFC 246, McGregor revealed his plans for 2020 and announced that his rivalry with Nurmagomedov is far from over.
Although ‘The Notorious One’ was humbled by the Dagestani fighter when the pair met at UFC 229 back in 2018, McGregor claimed that the Russian is consciously shying away from a rematch because he is scared. Speaking to the Mac Life, McGregor said that Khabib is ’trembling’ at the thought of fighting him again.
Speaking about that, McGregor claimed that he out-struck his opponent in the first and third rounds of the fight. He went on to state that the Russian got lucky with an overhand that connected in the second round, but apart from that, he was just running around the Octagon, looking to avoid the straight left from Conor.
He admitted to losing his focus ahead of the fight against Nurmagomedov and apologized to his team for disrespecting their efforts during the training camp.
