Gotcha, let’s dive into this. So, there’s Khabib and Conor, two guys who never quite hugged it out. Khabib’s retired, but it’s like Conor’s still living rent-free in his head or something. Anyway, McGregor’s been making headlines, but not the good kind — more like, “Oh no, what did he do now?” kinds. There was that whole assault verdict he didn’t even bother to appeal from 2018 in Dublin. Yeah, it’s a mess.
And remember when he was all notorious (ha, see what I did there?) for his wild antics? One time he went all Incredible Hulk on a bus Khabib was in, throwing stuff like he was auditioning for a reality show.
Anyway, so Khabib’s in New York at this Muslim gathering, and Sneako — you know that dude who streams everything — got it all on camera. Someone asks Khabib about Conor. Awkward. But Khabib’s like, “I won’t even say his name,” and then he goes on about punishment and crazy things like, well, everything McGregor’s done. But then he flips it and talks about second chances. It was kinda deep, honestly.
But back to McGregor. He’s got a rap sheet now, punching old dudes in bars (what even?), and another civil case for assault in Miami, plus that weird thing where Azealia Banks leaked supposed pictures of him. Not his proudest moments, I’d guess.
Khabib choked McGregor out back in UFC 229 — literally settled things by making him tap out. Khabib thinks Conor’s gotta clean up his act, especially for his fans. He said something about how you can always come back no matter how off the rails you’ve gone.
Apparently, if Conor changes, maybe he’ll drag some others into the light with him? Khabib even wished him the best. Wild, right?
