Following a 5-round traditional on Saturday that seen Usman Nurmagomedov defeat Paul Hughes by majority decision in the most major occasion at PFL Dubai, McGregor weighed in with his thoughts on the battle. While it modified into once inarguably a shut affair between two high lightweights, McGregor felt recognize Hughes unquestionably deserved the procure and didn’t judge much about Nurmagomedov or the household of opponents that he represents.
“Gargantuan battle and performance,” McGregor talked about about Hughes on Twitter. “Easy procure for Hughes. He dominated that battle. And [Usman] exactly what it says on the tin — a Nurmagomedov. Runner, sprinter, bolter, scarper, scurrying ‘fighter.’
“The Nurmagomedovs are no longer opponents. They are basically the most non-combating opponents out of Dagestan and all time. Dash away across the cage and shoot ass bitches. Dagestan is better than the Nurmagomedovs and that would be a truth.”

McGregor has a lengthy, sordid ancient previous with the Nurmagomedov household relationship wait on to his heated rivalry with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC. The heinous blood between these two boiled over at UFC 229 in 2018 with Nurmagomedov largely mauling McGregor in the light-weight title battle sooner than tapping him out with a terrible rear-naked choke/face crank combination in the fourth round.
Excellent moments after the battle ended, Nurmagomedov leaped over the cage to head after one amongst McGregor’s coaches and teammates whereas participants of his crew ended up throwing punches with McGregor except security may presumably intervene.
While McGregor no longer often misses a chance to rob a shot at anybody from the Nurmagomedov lineage, Khabib has lengthy since moved on after retiring with an undefeated file in 2020 as UFC light-weight champion.
Since that point, Nurmagomedov has change into one amongst the head coaches in the game whereas serving to his cousin Usman and his longtime buddy Islam Makhachev every protect titles in the PFL and UFC respectively.
As for McGregor, he’s been out of action for nearly about four years after suffering a gruesome damaged leg in a battle in opposition to Dustin Poirier wait on in 2021. While McGregor is expected to advance wait on sometime in 2025, it’s highly unlikely he faces anybody with the the relaxation name Nurmagomedov or a member of that crew in his first battle wait on.
That hasn’t doesn’t discontinue McGregor from taking purpose at them any chance he will get and Usman is the most recent with a purpose on his wait on.
