Nurmagomedov’s candid remarks on McGregor

From the former champ throwing a chair at UFC Hall of Famer Khabib’s bus to Khabib facing insults from the UFC arena for his attack on Dillon Danis are still unforgettable.
One time, a reporter asked about how Nurmagomedov looked at Dana White and how other known personalities who favored Conor McGregor.
The reporter asked, “Which of these three people do you think is the biggest Connor Dick rider? Dana White, who’s been d*ck riding Conor all the way to the bank, or Ariel Helwani, who hosted the biggest d*ck riding event in history with the Conor McGregor pay-per-view event, and then lastly, Artem Lobov, who always looks like he has Conor’s d*ck up his butt. Which of those three is the biggest, uh, Conor Dick rider?”
To this, in a laughing gesture, Khabib replied, “I think they bullsh*t.” These types of comments have been witnessed many times by fans regarding McGregor and White. However, that doesn’t hide the fact that Dana White did admit that the 35-year-old Irishman is his go-to man.
