McGregor responds to Khabib with ‘father’s plan’ jibe (VIDEO)

The Dubliner has once again taken aim at his Russian rival online

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has responded online after fierce rival Khabib Nurmagomedov referenced one of the Irishman’s trademark lines during a recent interview.

McGregor, who was defeated by unbeaten Russian star Nurmagomedov in a chaotic contest back in 2018, took to Twitter to address his foe after Khabib was asked during a speaking engagement to describe the success that his fight team has enjoyed in recent weeks.

Khabib’s longtime friend and training partner Islam Makhachev defeated former champ Charles Oliveira by submission a month ago this week to claim the UFC lightweight title previously lorded over by Khabib, while his cousin Usman Nurmagomedov also won the Bellator lightweight world title in a comprehensive performance against the experienced Patricky ‘Pitbull’ Freire last weekend.

At the aforementioned public appearance in Toronto, Khabib borrowed one of McGregor’s greatest hits to explain that his training partners are here to dominate their divisions indefinitely.

“I hear long time ago when one guy was talking about ‘We’re here to take over,’” Khabib said. “But we here to take over.”
