Conor McGregor called Khabib Nurmagomedov a ‘Scurrying Rat’ and was pleased to learn about his latest allegations. According to McGregor, Nurmagomedov will soon be back in the fight business to earn more money. Here’s what the former double champion said;
That’s typical rat behavior. Scurrying rat so he has bills to pay. Fight for legacy? Two main events or something he has in the UFC and he owes his bollocks to the Russian government…So, I’m ecstatic and delighted that that’s coming on top of him and we all will welcome him back into the fight game where he’s ran from. It’s a rat trap… We see him back around. Fat rat we call him.
