Nurmagomedov called the strong side of McGregor

Former mixed martial arts fighter (MMA) Khabib Nurmagomedov admitted that he considers all his opponents strong in their own way. He spoke about this in the Full Send Podcast on YouTube.

The 33-year-old Russian, known for his performances in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), spoke, among other things, about the Irishman Conor McGregor, with whom they fought in the fall of 2018. “All my opponents were tough. And Conor too. He had a powerful psychological preparation. This is also an important side of martial arts, ”Nurmagomedov emphasized.

In a conversation with the hosts of the podcast, Nurmagomedov also admitted that he would no longer return to performing in MMA. The former UFC champion added that he does not care about the opinions of fans who see modern fighters as possible winners in the confrontation with him.

Nurmagomedov left MMA after his third title defense in October 2020. Then he forced Justin Gaethje to surrender and kept the UFC lightweight belt.
