Conor McGregor told he went "too far" with comments about Khabib Nurmagomedov's dead father

Henry Cejudo has told Conor McGregor that he "went too far" with some of his trash talk towards Khabib Nurmagomedov, particularly with jabs towards his late father.

Undefeated Russian Nurmagomedov and McGregor have one of the ugliest and most bitter feuds in UFC history, with the pair's 2018 meeting ending in chaos after a brutal build-up. And despite 'the Eagle' comfortably winning their lightweight title bout, neither man has ever made up with the other and their rivalry is still heated.

But Cejudo feels that comments made by McGregor which related to the passing of Nurmagomedov's father Abdulmanap were too much for him to ever forgive. The returning two-weight world champion has been coaching during his three years out of action, working with some of the greats of the sport before stepping back into the octagon this weekend.
