Khabib Nurmagomedov just reignited his feud with Conor McGregor.
At UFC 229 on October 6, 2018, ‘The Eagle’ absolutely destroyed ‘The Notorious’, ragdolling his rival, en route to a fourth-round submission.
Even though Joe Rogan claims a prime McGregor may have beaten Nurmagomedov, there’s no denying that on the night, it was the Dagestani who walked away with the bragging rights.
That’s why, nearly seven years on, the former lightweight champion can enjoy rubbing his victory in his rival’s face.
WOW: Daniel Cormier angrily confronted Khabib Nurmagomedov after UFC legend embarrassed him
When Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor set foot in the cage together, they broke UFC PPV records.
That’s because the pair genuinely despised one another.
From Nurmagomedov slapping the Irishman’s former friend, Artem Lobov, to McGregor throwing a dolly through a bus window in an attempt to get at his nemesis, the pair delivered a spectacular build-up.
However, when the fight itself finally rolled around, the grappler cruised to victory.
And now he’s rubbed salt in the wounds by sharing a video on his Instagram story of himself submitting the Dubliner.
He captioned the post: “I know you guys don’t like this.”

The outrageous moment has undoubtedly made its way into UFC history books.
Following the incident, Nurmagomedov told Cormier why he jumped the cage.
