At first glance, Khabib Nurmagomedov is a pretty calm fighter in everyday life. But at the start of their rivalry with Conor McGregor, The Eagle got a little lost in anger. The proof, he has already slapped a friend of the Notorious in a hotel, and everything was filmed!
The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is known to all MMA fans, and it has reached an intensity rarely seen in the history of combat sports. It’s no coincidence that their clash at UFC 229 in October 2018 blew up all of the organization’s historical counters. More than 2.4 million Americans bought the event on pay-per-view, an unprecedented financial success that will probably never be equaled.
And this success is not simply due to the talent of the two champions, since many significant events came to spice up the pre-fight. In fact, for months, the two superstars have been rampaging through verbal attacks via media intermediaries, and families, teams, and even religions have been embroiled in this fierce rivalry. And if it could at first seem like a cold war, everything took a dramatic turn at UFC 223.
Khabib humiliates Artem Lobov at the hotel!
Indeed, a few days before the event, Khabib Nurmagomedov found himself in the same New York hotel as Artem Lobov, a good friend and training partner of Conor McGregor. And when the two passed each other in the hallways, things quickly escalated… The future lightweight champion physically attacked Lobov, and images of the altercation quickly made the rounds on social networks. A look back at a defining moment in recent UFC history.

Following this clash, Dana White took responsibility by canceling Artem Lobov’s fight, a fairly fair sanction given the bad image sent back. The problem is that Khabib Nurmagomedov did not receive any punishment, something the Notorious did not accept. The Irishman therefore decided to take justice into his own hands, which resulted in one of the most violent sequences in history: the attack on Khabib’s bus in the bowels of the Barclays Center…
This small slap given by Khabib Nurmagomedov had great consequences afterwards. Conor McGregor attacked a bus, resulting in his arrest, which gave a new twist to the rivalry between the two enemies.
