There\u2019s still no love lost between Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a> and Khabib
\nNurmagomedov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McGregor refused to include Nurmagomedov while recently listing his
\ngreatest fighters of all time in the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>. According to the former
\ntwo-division champion, his bitter rival has barely built a legacy
\nacross his 13 UFC fights. He believes only three of the unbeaten
\nRussian\u2019s opponents were well-known.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor slams Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s legacy<\/h2>\n

While McGregor suffered a submission loss to Nurmagomedov back in
\n2018, the Dubliner claims he wasn\u2019t in his best shape. He says he
\nwas doing \u201cbad things\u201d while partying on his yacht before fighting
\nthe then-lightweight champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat guy\u2019s done nothing in the sport. 13 fights he\u2019s had in the
\ncompany, that\u2019s it. And three against named opponents. I was off
\nthe yacht [when I fought him]; I was doing bad things on the yacht.
\nI was partying heavily and I was with my eyeballs in court cases
\nand all of this,\u201d McGregor told Complex. \u201cI hadn\u2019t fought in two
\nyears. I was worth $200 million. I come back and fight this f*cking
\nguy, I done four rounds with him. I had a broken toe three weeks
\nbefore the belt. This guy is nothing. Then, where is he now also?
\nHe\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor (22-6) and Nurmagomedov (29-0) shared one of the most
\niconic rivalries in UFC history. During the build-up to their
\nclash, McGregor threw a dolly at a bus carrying Nurmagomedov and
\nother fighters after \u201cThe Eagle\u201d had confronted his teammate
\nArtem
\nLobov<\/a>. He also made several crude statements about
\nNurmagomedov\u2019s family and religion.<\/p>\n

When they finally met at
\nUFC 229<\/a>, the highest-selling UFC pay-per-view of all time,
\nNurmagomedov made McGregor tap via a face crank in the fourth
\nround. The Dagestani then defended his lightweight title two more
\ntimes before hanging up his gloves in 2020.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, McGregor rebounded with a win over Donald
\nCerrone<\/a> in 2020, which was his last win in the UFC. He hasn\u2019t
\nfought since consecutive losses to Dustin
\nPoirier<\/a> in 2021, the last of which left him with a broken
\nleg.<\/p>\n

McGregor is now set to return in a welterweight matchup against
\nMax
\nHolloway<\/a> (27-9) at
\nUFC 329<\/a> on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
