Artem Lobov has given his thoughts on what went wrong for his former friend Conor McGregor when he fought Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Way back in October 2018, Conor McGregor challenged Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight championship. To this day, it's the biggest fight in the history of mixed martial arts, and it's one that was won by Khabib via submission. While that would usually be the end of the story, it's safe to say that the two have continued to have a pretty notable rivalry over the years.

While a rematch never quite came to fruition, McGregor hasn't been afraid to go after Khabib in the media - and vice versa. Nowadays, though, they're in very different spots, with Khabib enjoying retirement and Conor being surrounded by controversy everywhere he goes.
In a recent interview, McGregor's former friend Artem Lobov gave his thoughts on what went wrong for the Irishman back at UFC 229.
