The Russian submitted McGregor with a neck crank, followed by an incident in which he jumped out of the octagon to confront McGregor&#8217;s team. Nurmagomedov retired as an undefeated champion in 2020.\n\nMcGregor, with a 1-2 record in the UFC after his fight with Nurmagomedov, has faced various legal issues, including a civil case for sexual assault in 2024.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This is a punishment, but the most beautiful thing about this is that Allah always gives the opportunity to return. I think he has a chance. He has to change how he is living.<\/p><cite>Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nNurmagomedov commented that he doesn&#8217;t think it&#8217;s too late for McGregor to modify his lifestyle.\n\nDuring a public intervention in New York, Nurmagomedov stated: &#8220;If he changes, he can change many other lives too. That&#8217;s why I wish him to change himself. If he is not going to change, it will be a punishment all his life.&#8221;\n\nThese statements contrast with Nurmagomedov&#8217;s comments in the years following his rivalry with McGregor, during which McGregor launched criticisms of Nurmagomedov&#8217;s personal life. In 2019, Nurmagomedov stated: &#8220;It will never end. Even if we see each other somewhere, we will fight, 100%. It doesn&#8217;t matter if someone goes to jail or something like that.&#8221;\n\nMcGregor hasn&#8217;t fought since he suffered a broken leg during a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. However, the 37-year-old fighter recently rejoined the UFC&#8217;s mandatory testing pool, in preparation for a possible return.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khabib Nurmagomedov Urges Conor McGregor to a Life Change Mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Khabib Nurmagomedov has expressed his desire to see his former rival, Conor McGregor, take a new direction in his life.
