Javier Mendez, the former coach of Khabib Nurmagomedov, expressed his desire to see Conor McGregor back in the UFC cage, but only to witness him suffer another defeat. McGregor and Nurmagomedov had a heated rivalry and faced off in 2018, resulting in McGregor’s submission loss in the fourth round. While Nurmagomedov retired undefeated, McGregor is contemplating a comeback despite his recent loss to Dustin Poirier in a trilogy rematch.
A potential return for McGregor at UFC 300 has been discussed for the summer. In an interview with Casino Alpha, Mendez shared his thoughts on McGregor’s comeback and predicted a matchup against Michaal Chandler. He stated, ‘I think McGregor-Chandler happens because Conor’s too much of a fighter not to fight again. I’d love to see him fight, but I’d love to see him lose too. I don’t think he’s a good person. He brought pain to a lot of people and hit my nerves when he said ‘father evil covid good’ in reference to Khabib’s father. The whole world suffered through covid. F-you, McGregor. All the tragedy felt throughout the world, I don’t care who you are, you can’t say that sort of thing. How could he say that, what if he lost his whole family because of covid? That one right there made me speak against him. I’d love to see Chandler-Conor get made because I’d love to see him lose.’
