Conor McGregor

With all signs pointing to Khabib Nurmagomedov not fighting Tony Ferguson at UFC 249, Conor McGregor has taken a verbal jab at both fighters.

Due to a travel ban Russian recently enacted in response to the coronavirus pandemic, it appears all but certain that Nurmagomedov will not be able to fight on April 18th. McGregor recently tweeted out the comments below, while referring to the fact that four previous booked for Nurmagomedov versus Ferguson have fallen through.

The fact of this matter is, both Tony and Khabib where engaged in a game of chicken here towards the fight bell. With Khabib chickening out first. Making it 3-2 in pullouts in Tony’s favour. Khab scurried out of the U.S to home, and amid the crisis. Very high risk.
Congrats Tony.

I am in shape to fight right now!
At the beginning of all this, I said to myself – I’m happy I don’t have an official fight booked. If I did, I would have consumed all the incorrect data to support me taking part in the bout, and I would have followed through, competed. And won.
