Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Islam
Makhachev poked fun at Conor
McGregor following the Irishman’s anticlimactic defeat to
Max
Holloway.

McGregor suffered a knee injury with the very first strike he threw
in his rematch with Holloway at
UFC 329 in Las Vegas. He couldn’t plant both feet properly
thereafter and the referee subsequently intervened, calling a halt
to the action. Makhachev has now mocked the former two-division
champion.

Islam Makhachev posts ‚Conor beat Conor‘ after Max Holloway
stops McGregor at UFC 329

Makhachev has addressed the result of UFC 329’s main event, wherein
his friend and mentor Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s bitter rival failed to return to the win column.
UFC featherweight champ Alexander
Volkanovski posted his live reaction to the injury on Instagram
and Makhachev commented with a laughing emoji underneath.

“Conor beat Conor congrats Max,” the former lightweight and current
welterweight champion then posted on X.

Notably, McGregor commended Makhachev in the lead-up to UFC 329,
ranking him above Nurmagomedov and Daniel
Cormier. „Body of work, finishes. I rank him above Khabib and
DC. People around him are talking about [retirement], but there’s a
lot left in that boy,” he said in an interview.

Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor remains the highest-selling pay-per-view
in UFC history, kicking off the Dagestan-Ireland rivalry, which
will have another chapter at UFC
330, where Makhachev will look to defend his belt against
Ian
Garry.
