Conor McGregor has earned himself a reputation over the past few years for leaning towards being more so of a Twitter personality, rather than a martial artist.
The ‘Notorious’ one has initiated multiple rivalries through his social media presence while also burning a number of established bridges between certain fighters and himself. He has used his platform to explain his version of events from time to time.

As such, the 34-year-old posted a voice note on the bird app, about a week ago, scrutinizing famed MMA commentator and personality Joe Rogan.
McGregor, in the voice note, criticized Rogan for stating that the Irishman threw an illegal knee at Nurmagomedov when he was on the ground.

The disarray between Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, and Conor McGregor needs no introduction. The pair have been going at it since the latter was slated to face his client, the ‘Eagle’, in 2018.

Abdelaziz has now responded to McGregor for his comments regarding Rogan and the bout. Responding to McGregor’s statement, the manager declared,
“Joe didn’t lie you was cheating the whole fight, grabbing the shirt, grabbing the glove’s knee from the bottom and you still get your ass whooped stop doing drugs”
Whether McGregor likes it or not, the knee he threw was indeed illegal, considering that he was on the ground.
Within the martial arts spectrum, Abdelaziz is generally crucified for his obnoxious opinions on several martial artists. However, in this situation, the 45-year-old will gather the support of the media for his defense of Rogan.
The title fight of a lifetime!
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor graced the patented octagon in October 2018 to settle their long-standing differences. Their encounter rewrote the history books, as the pay-per-view grossed 2.4 Million buys—the foremost for a martial arts event.
The Russian emerged victorious in a dominating performance, which shut down all talks of an immediate rematch. Nurmagomedov would submit McGregor with a neck crank in the fourth round.
He cemented himself as a 155lbs great with the victory. Although McGregor has been campaigning for a rematch with the ‘Eagle’ since then, Nurmagomedov has no intention to unretire just for a contest against an arch-rival, over whom he has already reigned supreme.
As unlikely as it may seem, if the bout does indeed come to fruition, it’s extremely difficult to see the Irishman emerge victorious via any means.
