Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov commented on the recent performances of his former rival Conor McGregor. According to the Russian, the Irishman's results confirm his belief that fighters can only reach their peak potential once in a career.
"Conor fought Donald Cerrone and looked like a lion. But against the decent opponents he looked like a scared chicken. Top contenders show what he is worth of. The Russian soccer team's level is shown, for example, not in a match against Malta, but against Croatia. Similarly, a fight with Cowboy will not show what level you're at," Nurmagomedov said at a press conference in Moscow.
McGregor suffered three defeats in his last four fights.
