Khabib-McGregor Rivalry's UFC Legacy Endures

The ongoing rivalry between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor remains a focal point in the UFC nearly seven years after their UFC 229 clash. Nurmagomedov has recently disclosed that UFC President Dana White played a major role in orchestrating their feud, especially the infamous 2018 bus incident that heightened anticipation for their fight. McGregor has reignited hostilities with a sharp, now-deleted social media post, though he has also expressed respect for White in recent comments. Despite new stars and rivalries emerging in the UFC, the Khabib-McGregor saga continues to define much of the sport's narrative. Both fighters now reflect that the rivalry was as much about UFC promotion as personal animosity. The event remains a significant chapter in combat sports history.
