Conor McGregor takes a shot at Nikita Hand after CCTV issue

Conor McGregor succumbed to a defeat at the hands of Nikita Hand when the courts directed the former dual-weight champion to pay the damages as well as cover the legal fees of Miss Hand in the civil case. Months after the hubbub, the plaintiff filed another injunction in the courts to stop the dissemination, circulation, or publication of the CCTV footage used in the trials.

Why has Hand filed such an injunction? Well, because McGregor is in the mood to publish this to increase his liquor sales in Italy. Regardless, after ‘Mystic Mac’ got the news that Hand had filed an injunction, he took to his Instagram handle to write a long note on her as well as the public, “Since my name has been used in the last few days, let’s clarify one thing, the video is a fundamental of this shameful story,” wrote McGregor.

He further added, “A video that cleary shows Nikita’s party clearly continued long after the meeting with Conor.” Furthermore, he uploaded another story that showcased a rather different angle to the game. Regardless, leaving the McGregor story, let us move on to some departure news.

Dominick Cruz and Holly Holm might end their career soon

Former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and former women’s bantamweight champion, Holly Holm have decided that it is time for them to say goodbye to their fighting career for good. Ariel Helwani first broke the news about Holly Holm’s departure, stating that although the fighter had two fights remaining on her contract, she requested to explore opportunities outside the UFC, and the promotion agreed.

Her last loss against Kayla Harrison triggered her willingness to retire from the sport for good. Now that she has left, the future of the women’s bantamweight division future appears grim. Regardless, in addition to Holm’s, Dominick Cruz has also come forward to announce his last fight. In a conversation with Helwani, Cruz said, “Yes, [retiring after this fight is] what’s going to happen. The body just isn’t the same anymore. When you got to start training differently because the body isn’t doing what you need it to then you’re subsidizing…I think if I just keep going and going, I could end up in a space where I can’t lift my arm.”

Dominick Cruz will be clashing against Rob Font at the UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song on Feb. 22. This mark the last chapter of his illustrious career. Now that we know about the departure news, let us move on forward to Jon Anik’s support for Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Jon Anik comes in support of Khabib Nurmagomedov amidst airline fiasco

Fairly recently, Khabib Nurmagomedov was escorted out of a Frontier Arlines plane en route to Los Angeles because there was a misunderstanding between the flight attendant and the former lightweight champ. Despite the small quarrel, Nurmagomedov obliged to the protocols and was escorted out of the plane. The former UFC star had to wait 1.5 hours before taking off on another plane.

This incident has been enormously highlighted by the media and the aviation company has come under fire from the public. Jumping on the bandwagon, Jon Anik has come forward to condemn the airlines, “I didn’t like that he was being treated, and these airlines out of the United States of America, when it comes to hospitality and general cordiality, don’t even come close to the way you get treated on international airlines.”

He further added, “Sometimes it’s embarrassing to be a fu–ing American when it comes to these people. These TSA people in LA and New York treat me like, you know, a bag of d–ks.” Well, the entire community has come forward to stand with Khabib Nurmagomedov in unison amidst the chaos and many have even canceled their Frontier airlines tickets. Regardless, let’s conclude the segment with a piece of replacement news.
