- Conor McGregor lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018
- The two fighters remain bitter rivals after the fight
- The UFC has released new footage from the bout
Unseen footage shows exactly what was said between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor during their fight six years ago.
The UFC legends met in 2018 in a bitter battle for the lightweight championship, which generated a record 2.4 million pay-per-view buys.
The lead-up to the fight was filled with ugly moments, including McGregor attacking a bus carrying Nurmagomedov and derogatory comments about the Dagestani religion.
Nurmagomedov, however, had the final say in the Octagon, defeating McGregor with a chokehold in the fourth round before launching a wild attack on the Irishman’s team.
And in never-before-seen footage, UFC fans heard exactly what Nurmagomedov said to McGregor moments after he secured a resounding victory.
He yelled, “I fucked you, bitch,” before appearing to spit in the direction of the former champion.
Fans took to social media to react to the stunning new footage.
“Khabib is a threat,” said one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“I can’t believe I never noticed the saliva before,” said a second fan. “You see him winding up that bad guy and stuff.”
A third fan joked: ‘Hawk Tuah spit on that thing.’
Nurmagomedov fought just twice after his victory over McGregor, citing a promise he made to his mother after his father’s death when he announced his retirement.
That means the Irishman will never be able to avenge his painful defeat in Las Vegas.
One fan reflected on that harsh reality, saying, “This haunts him and will haunt him. [McGregor] his whole life. Knowing he can’t take revenge.’
