Conor McGregor slammed Khabib Nurmagomedov for failing to complete his "father's plan" after declaring he had done so by cornering Islam Makhachev to UFC title glory on Saturday night.
Nurmagomedov was a legendary undefeated champion when he retired from the sport in October 2020 with his record at an impressive 29-0. His mother asked him to hang up his gloves after his dad Abdulmanap passed away earlier in the year with heart complications, which he did without asking questions or looking back.
Instead, he moved into a behind-the-scenes position, helping a number of his family members and friends in training camp for their fights, including Makhachev. And after he retired from the sport, Khabib made it his mission to reclaim the belt as a cornerman, with Makhachev his chosen friend to get the title back from Charles Oliveira, and further his "father's plan".
