Makhachev Mocks McGregor After Holloway's UFC 329 Victory
UFC champion Islam Makhachev has taken aim at Conor McGregor, referencing the Irishman's recent defeat to Max Holloway at UFC 329.
Following Max Holloway's decisive victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 329, lightweight champion Islam Makhachev did not miss an opportunity to comment on the situation. Makhachev, who is currently sidelined, directed some playful jabs at McGregor.
The Dagestani fighter's comments were a reaction to McGregor's performance and subsequent loss, which saw him defeated by Holloway. Makhachev's remarks suggest a continued rivalry or at least a keen interest in McGregor's career trajectory, even from afar.
Makhachev's public taunts towards a sidelined McGregor are a classic power play, reminding everyone who holds the current belts while McGregor attempts a comeback.
