Khabib Nurmagomedov, a legend in UFC, has called Conor McGregor's fight with Floyd Mayweather a fake fight.
McGregor, a MMA mogul, entered the boxing scene in August 2017, for a multimillion-pound fight with McGregor, a former five-weight world champion. This was appropriately dubbed 'The Money Fight.

The UFC's most famous fighter was defeated by Money in the tenth round. Many, including Nurmagomedov believe Money carried The Notorious.
He said that it was like a sparring match during an appearance on The Nelk Boys Full Send podcast.
"It was not a real fight, because this man [is] not really a boxer, and Mayweather did what he did for me, but it felt more like a fake fighting match."
"This is my opinion. It could be true, or maybe not... But, we knew it was real.
"Everything that happened prior to the fight, inside and after the fight."
Three months after his retirement fight Mayweather said that he had taken it easy on McGregor in order to make the fight look good' for fans.
Fight Hype reported that the 44-year old star said: "Everybody tried protesting Mayweather-McGregor fight.
"But I'm going to tell you the truth, I am gonna tell you the truth: I carried McGregor. It looked good for you, I know.
Nurmagomedov, who resigned from MMA in October 2020 was offered a stunning NINEFIGURE payday so that he could share the ring and Mayweather, a Hall-of Famer.
The Dagestani wrecking crew rejected the offer. Ali Abdelaziz, his manager, told TMZ that $100 million was offered to Floyd Mayweather.
"Dana White was aboard, everyone was aboard. Khabib, as you all know, is a fighter in MMA.
"If Floyd wanted Floyd to come to fight, get your little ass whooped.
Nurmagomedov said that he had accepted the offers before his retirement fight.
It's crazy. Please, I'd like to be focused on Justin Gaethje.
"Every month, people from Saudi Arabia, Emirates, and a lot more countries try to make a contract with me.
