Celebrating Your Demise:
Conor McGregor is dealing with the void left by UFC 303, while Khabib Nurmagomedov is facing a more challenging situation. A recent terror attack in Dagestan led to the tragic deaths of at least 21 individuals on June 23. The attack specifically targeted several churches and was carried out with automatic weapons. MMA fighter Gadzhimurad Kagirov, who had ties to Nurmagomedov’s MMA academy, was involved in the attack. Khabib clarified that Kagirov had received some training at the gym but stressed that he was not officially part of the team and had spent very little time there.
Due to Kagirov’s connections, Russian special forces conducted a raid on the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov School. This has put Khabib in a difficult position, particularly since his father had initially trained young people from Dagestan to prevent them from falling into radicalization.
Meanwhile, McGregor, Khabib’s former rival, has not shown much empathy. In fact, he has been openly provocative on social media. McGregor retweeted a video of the gym raid with the caption “McGregor was right.” He also launched a scathing attack on “The Eagle,” touching on topics ranging from violence to allegations of drug testing.
BJ Penn is offering his thoughts as a political commentator, sharing insights on current events. Additionally, a verbal agreement has been made for the Benoit Saint-Denis vs. Renato Moicano fight, promising an intense showdown.

Cory Sandhagen’s leaping left hook is a remarkable sight, and the precision exhibited by elite fighters such as Dan Henderson and Rafael Feijao illustrates their exceptional abilities.
