"That's a fun prediction! @TheNotoriousMMA you also predicted a donation to my foundation and you and your team stopped responding after the fight in January. See you soon. July 10th Paid In Full!," Dustin Poirier Tweeted in response to Conor McGregor's recent predictions for their upcoming trilogy fight.
At that point, Khabib Nurmagomedov joined the conversation when he replied to Dustin Poirier's tweet with a video.
According to a Twitter user, the video that Khabib Nurmagomedov posted translates to:
Listen to me now! I gave you my promise? Iām taking it back.
Khabib Nurmagomedov's history with Conor McGregor
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor had one of the most intense rivalries in the UFC. The feud began when the Irishman and his group invaded a UFC press event in 2018 to send a message to Khabib. McGregor hurled a steel dolly through the window of a bus that was carrying the Russian and several other fighters.
Later that year, McGregor got his comeuppance when Khabib manhandled him inside the octagon, forcing him to tap out in the fourth round and retaining the UFC lightweight crown.
Khabib may have officially retired from MMA in March, but he's clearly not done beefing with McGregor.
