Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov knows a thing or two about beating the best of his competition. “The Eagle”, who walked away while on top, defeated fighters such as Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
This means no one’s more qualified to talk about the trilogy fight between Conor and Dustin this past weekend.
The highly anticipated third fight ended in the worst possible way – the Irish suffered a broken leg at the end of the opening round, as he stepped awkwardly on his left foot.
I the aftermath of it all, Mcgregor was already selling the fourth match, but many people, including Khabib, believe that he can’t beat Dustin Poirier after such a horrific injury.
“What’s going to happen? I don’t think something’s going to happen. The judges have Dustin Poirier a 10-8. He mauled Conor McGregor in the first round. If they fight 100 times, Dustin is gonna beat him 100 times,” Nurmagomedov said.
Before a fourth fight can happen, McGregor has a long recovery road inform of him. Meanwhile, Poirier will probably be the next challenger for the lightweight throne which is currently owned by Charles Oliveira.
