Khabib Nurmagomedov points to divine intervention when breaking down Conor McGregor ’s leg break at UFC 264 . McGregor’s (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas ended in gruesome fashion when the former two-division champion could not continue after suffering the injury in the closing seconds of Round 1. Poirier (28-6 MMA, 20-5 UFC) was declared the winner by TKO, and afterward, Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC) tweeted that “good” had prevailed over “evil.” There’s no doubt Nurmagomedov’s negative history with McGregor led to his initial reaction, but he said he stands behind it.
