"You can say whatever you want, but if we're talking about facts, you can't compare Irish fighters with fighters from Dagestan. We dominate amateur MMA, and it's not even close—not just compared to Irish fighters but the whole world. I'm absolutely confident that if we were to organize a team vs. team matchup, Dagestan would defeat a world team in amateur MMA. And when it comes to professional MMA, we have champions, contenders and ranked fighters in every major league. Show me Irish fighters who are currently title contenders in the Top 3 MMA promotions. At best, you might be able to name one or two fighters."
"Eagle" further doubled down on his comments in a tweet, declaring Dagestani MMA superior to any other country in the world. Khabib's statements have sparked discussions about the ongoing rivalry between Irish and Dagestani fighters, particularly in the context of the upcoming Bellator title fight featuring Paul Hughes against Usman Nurmagomedov.
