The rivalry between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is regarded as one of the best rivalries in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). However, things were different in 2015 when Conor McGregor was ruling the featherweight division (145 lbs) and Khabib was cementing his feet in the lightweight unit (155 lbs). No one ever thought that Khabib and McGregor would cross their paths in future. That did not stop them from complimenting each other back then. UFC on BT Sport recently revealed a video in which Khabib is caught delivering his priceless reaction to Conor McGregor’s thirteen second knockout against Jose Aldo.

The thirteen second KO victory over Jose Aldo brought extreme stardom along with a shining featherweight title for Conor McGregor. Later, Conor McGregor jumped up to the lightweight division. He successfully became a two-division world champion by dethroning Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight strap at UFC 205. However, his recent run has not been quite impressive as he lost two back-to-back major fights against Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The former double champ will return inside the octagon on January 18, 2020 in a highly anticipated welterweight clash against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246.
