Khabib Nurmagomedov’s rivalry with Conor McGregor was one of the most intense in MMA history, and the retired champion was quick to comment on his rival’s latest loss Saturday

McGregor battled Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 on Saturday, and lost the rubber match via TKO. Near the end of the opening round, it appeared as though McGregor broke his leg, and the fight was called.

Following the fight, Nurmagomedov tweeted out the comment below.

Good always defeats evil.
Very happy for @DustinPoirier I hope you will get the belt end of the year
