Conor McGregor has named an illegal knee he used on Khabib Nurmagomedov during his 2018 defeat as the “the Springbok”.
The Irish star is currently out of action after breaking his leg in a second consecutive defeat by Dustin Poirier. McGregor has lost three of his last four fights, with his most high-profile loss coming against bitter rival Nurmagomedov who submitted him in the fourth round of their clash.
McGregor gave a good account of himself during the showdown, but was unable to break down the resolve of the Russian who later retired as an undefeated champion. During the fight, McGregor used an illegal knee which the referee reprimanded him for during the contest after complaints from his opponent.
