Khabib on Twitter posted a brief note of his observance of what contributed to the thumping defeat of Conor McGregor.

He wrote: This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality.

In the post-event presser, Dana White addressed the media and revealed what Khabib told him. Apparently before UFC 257, in a conversation with Dana White, Khabib told Dana to look down within himself to find the answer to who is the best Lightweight fighter of all.

Dana White: I did talk to Khabib. And he said to me, “Dana, be honest with yourself. I’m so many levels above these guys. I beat these guy.”

With Conor McGregor receiving a beatdown and Khabib Nurmagomedov unlikely to come back, the rematch between the two now looks like a distant reality.
