KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV revealed that he started the UFC 229 post-fight brawl to break Conor McGregor's will.
McGregor was disappointed to learn that the retired Nurmagomedov had won his grudge match. He ended it with a brutal fourth round neck crank. McGregor reluctantly accepted and tapped him.
Conor McGregor was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov in their UFC 229 grudge bout
McGregor's submission surprised Nurmagomedov who was subject to controversial and over-the-top trash talk during the build up to their blockbuster fight.
The Eagle won the biggest win of his career but was not satisfied. He immediately ran to Danis, after being encouraged by Brazilian jiujitsu champion.
He explained that he chokes his victim when he catches his neck on Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson.
"And I thought, 'Hey! You bring like thousands of people from Ireland to different parts of the world, and you tap infront of them.
"You talk like a warrior or something similar? What are you able to tap? Go to sleep. Sleep.
He said, "And he tapped and I was like: 'Okay. It's not enough. I need more. Do you know what? Like.
"And I can see his corners and he talks with me, and I think, "Oh, I must bite his heart."
McGregor continues to trash talk and taunt Nurmagomedov, who recently mocked his father's death.
He spoke out about the Irishman's jibe, saying: "When this guy talked about it, only evil could talk about your dad, wife, children, or religion.
"If you're a normal person, you won't talk about this stuff."
"I believe he posted this tweet (while drunk) or something. These tweets are then deleted every day.
"When he becomes normal, he looks at his smartphone and says, "Oh, look at what I did." Then he deletes. I think he does this all the time.
Russian added, "When someone doesn't with us - it means he isn't even alive – this is what you have in your heart."
"This is how dirty you really are.
"When you are one of the greatest in the world, and you come to punch someone like 70 years old (in a bar), this is a sign of your heart.
This shows you who you really are, and how dirty you are. How can you be like this if you have children and parents?
"I don’t understand why his closest people don’t go, 'Hey! What's the deal?'"
