The world is now waiting for what’s next for the UFC’s two top lightweights in Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, and the war of words continues to unfold between both camps.
In a new interview with the Russian media, Khabib’s father has now injected himself in the mix, and he’s very critical of Conor McGregor’s win over Eddie Alvarez, and his overall conduct.
Pulling no punches, Khabib’s dad takes no issue with talking smack about the Irish mega star.
Thanks to a translation from The UG’s Touch, we can make sense of what was originally said in Russian.
Check it out:
“I think that Conor, Diaz, and Ferguson, instead of fighting with Khabib, will be better off fighting against each other 30 times.
“Look, Khabib also had a wife in “position”, on the day of the fight a son was born, but this did not stop us. And when the girl of Conor was waiting for the child, he himself almost went on maternity leave. We understand this perfectly. If Conor and Ferguson fight among themselves, give us Alvarez. He said that he was preparing Barboza for Khabib. Well, let’s see, let him go by himself now.”
Commenting on the recent Eddie Alvarez vs. Justin Gaethje fight, he stated,
“I did not want to say this, but that’s how they leave the pubs and fight. One beats and staggers and another as well. No logic, tactics and cunning was not in this battle. Against us, such things will not pass. And Alvarez vs. Conor – was there a fight there?”
Khabib’s dad then emplies that Conor’s win over Eddie Alvarez was fixed.
“Have not you looked? He was struck by left hand twice, he staggered, fell – and that’s it. Watch this at least two or three times. In other battles, he is a hero, but here he behaves like that … Well, this was an incomprehensible battle.”
“Well, do not you see? I do not want to deceive myself.”
Some shocking claims in the interview, right?
