After a close fight against Usman Nurmagomedov, Paul Hughes engaged in a respectful post-fight discussion with Khabib Nurmagomedov, implicitly contrasting himself with Conor McGregor. Hughes stated, "I am not like this other guy. I am my own man," which irked McGregor, who initially praised Hughes' performance but later criticized him due to the video. The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between McGregor, Hughes, and the Nurmagomedov family, illustrating the complex dynamics in MMA rivalries and national identities.
I always said you were the GOAT, paid homage at every opportunity. But coming at my Irish identity just shows where your head is at.
I'm not like this other guy; I'm my own man.
Too right. You're not. Get that flag off you, you little know what you are c-t from up there.
Conor praised Hughes' performance, claiming that his countryman 'dominated the fight' before expressing his displeasure after watching the post-fight video.
