Khabib Nurmagomedov’s submission of Conor McGregor back in 2018 is so monumental and historic that we still feel its effects to this day. Even though it’s been six years since UFC 229, people are still trolling McGregor for it.
In a recent tweet thread on X, ‘The Notorious’ posted about another historic moment in his career – the 13-second, title-winning KO of Jose Aldo in 2015. The day was turned into ‘Conor McGregor Day’ in Ireland, something ‘The Notorious’ is undoubtedly proud of.
McGregor tweeted:
“Conor McGregor Day! 12/12 #HUGESUCCESS #SUCCESSSTORY #ITSWAS12SECONDS”

Reigning UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad threw a massive wet blanket on McGregor’s celebration by commenting with a gif of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s face crank on him:
“When’s tap day ? #mctap #mccrackhead #mcrapist”

Muhammad is turning into a master troll online. Not many fighters – or champions – are as sharp with their wit and creative with their jabs as ‘Remember the Name’. He even hovered over McGregor’s recent troubles with the law, mainly his being liable for assault on a woman back in 2018 – around the same time Nurmagomedov submitted him.
