McGregor admitted to breaking the rules in a fight with Nurmagomedov – MMA News

McGregor attached to the publication an excerpt from the fight, where he punches an opponent with a knee in the eye, while in a position from below. At the same time, the 32-year-old Irishman noted that he did not regret at all about the use of a prohibited method. He proposed to allow this technique.

“You can’t hit with your knee in the eye from this position, yes. But it’s beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like this before, ”added McGregor.

Both athletes are known for their performances in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). At the tournament in the fall of 2018, McGregor lost to Nurmagomedov in a fight for the belt of the champion of the promotion in lightweight.

Nurmagomedov will hold the next defense on October 24. The rival of the Russian will be American Justin Gage.
