Khabib fans and Khabib Nurmagomedov himself had a lot to say after this one.

Connor’s world has being different since khabib said this pic.twitter.com/YCa0jBYeoy

This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality.

— khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) January 24, 2021

"Khabib is scared"

"I will finish Dustin in 60 seconds"

"I had the best training camp of my life and am in the best shape of my life"

Khabib finished him. Go home!

"Once I got under those lights, I just came to life. I felt great. I felt in the moment."@DustinPoirier reacts to his knockout win over Conor McGregor and what it means for his title hopes in the lightweight division.#UFC257 | #InAbuDhabi | @VisitAbuDhabi

As for Conor, he told Poirier they will do it again. McGregor knocked out Poirier in 2014, so this would be a trilogy fight and a big draw.

Conor McGregor is the new Mike Tyson. Formerly great fighter. Still a great talker. Sells tickets now on memories and smoke and mirrors only.

But something tells us that proposed Jake Paul boxing match might be in McGregor’s near future…
