“I’m not sure that Nurmagomedov represents Russia. I have not met such a person to represent Russia with the same pride with which I raise the flag of Ireland. His father wants him to raise the flag, but he himself does not want it. I heard that Nurmagomedov almost died, losing weight to the light category. This is cowardice. He is afraid of risks, and such fighters do not perform for a long time. I knocked out Porrier in 90 seconds, and he fought with him for three rounds. All Russians know that Dagestanis are fleeing. The same thing happened in Brooklyn. A revenge is inevitable, ”McGregor told reporters.
In the first match with Nurmagomedov, which took place as part of the UFC 229 tournament in October 2018 in Las Vegas, the Irishman lost by surrender.
Earlier, McGregor said when he will hold the next fight in the UFC.
