Khabib Nurmagomedov has said he believes Conor McGregor has a “chance to come back” from the chaos of the last few years, in a surprising message to his bitter UFC rival.

Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC) vs. McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) is arguably the most heated rivalry in UFC history, with their issues coming to a head at UFC 229 in October 2018 when "The Eagle" scored a fourth-round submission in their grudge match prior to a brawl breaking out inside the octagon at the conclusion of the bout.

Retired mixed martial arts legend Khabib Nurmagomedov would like to see former rival Conor McGregor turn his life in a new direction. Nurmagomedov, 36, defeated McGregor in one of the most heated grudge matches in UFC history in 2018.
