Khabib Nurmagomedov Launches Scathing Attack On Conor McGregor Over Donald Cerrone Win

Khabib Nurmagomedov has brutally slammed Conor McGregor's victory over Donald Cerrone by arguing his opponent isn't at a "high level."

But Khabib, who picked up a stunning win over McGregor in 2018, was far from impressed with the performance from the Irish UFC superstar.

Khabib explained: "'Cowboy' always loses all his main-event fights, always. I don't remember when he win. In the last 10 fights, I think he's lose 7 times -- six or seven times.

"He's not high-level lightweight or welterweight right now. He's not. Of course, he has a big name but his time is finished.

"Conor [needs to] pick very good opponent. Now he come back and beat 'Cowboy,' who lose last 10 fights seven times, and then they talk about this guy come back.

"No, he has to fight really tough opponents like Justin Gaethje or something like this. He has to come back to lightweight division. He has to cut welterweight, and this is just my opinion."

But the Russian star has accused the 'Notorious' of not only avoiding Gaethje, but also "ducking tough match-ups."

The 'Eagle' said: "I think he [is] just ducking tough match-ups. Not only just Justin Gaethje, he's just, 'Who's gonna be my next fight? I need this fight.'

"Of course, he can because he's big star, but anyway, let's talk about me, let's talk about my next fight."
