Conor McGregor & Khabib Nurmagomedov Spar On Social Media

UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor recently said to TMZ that a return to MMA was in his future.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is a top contender in the division and the fighter recently earned a decision win over Edson Barboza at UFC 219.

McGregor wasn’t impressed with Nurmagomedov’s performance and let it be known through a series of posts on Twitter. This has led to a response from Nurmagomedov, which then led to a social media battle between champion and contender.

One thing that could spoil a potential bout between McGregor and Nurmagomedov is UFC President Dana White, who said UFC Interim Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson is next for McGregor.
