“The Only Things That Can Bring Conor and Khabib Together on a Track” – Khabib’s Rival Recalls Legendary Conor McGregor Feud and How He Was Responsible for Setting That Up

In today’s day and age, anything is possible. Almost anything. But imagining Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov settling their differences and becoming friends? That’s too far-fetched of a notion to even give a thought to. However, a former UFC fighter asserts that there is, in fact, a method—or even two—to achieve that. Al Iaquinta once stood up to face Khabib for his lightweight title when everyone else backed out, which culminated in ‘The Eagle’ taking the reigns from ‘The Notorious’, who was then stripped off the title. This ultimately made ‘The Eagle’ the new UFC lightweight champion. And that is exactly where it all started. However, the retired UFC fighter is willing to step up once again and lend a hand to put an end to the biggest rivalry in the history of the UFC.

One of the two solutions Iaquinta offered is a little out of the ordinary. But that’s what the ‘Raging’ holds expertise in lately.

Two things that can end the bad blood between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov

Al Iaquinta discreetly made fun of Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s feud on Twitter. The 35-year-old shared an amusing video on his social media that featured brief appearances by both UFC superstars in which it seemed as though they were both endorsing Iaquinta and his real estate endeavor.

He wrote, “The only two things that can bring Conor and Khabib together on a track?… Real Estate and Raging AL!” 

With all the beats and animated fragments, this clip has a very music video-like feel to it. Additionally, there were instances in it where McGregor and Khabib appeared to be praising him and his real estate company.

Al Iaquinta switched to the real estate industry after quitting the MMA because, in his opinion, it wasn’t worth it. As of today, he is a full-time real-estate agent and is doing pretty well in that domain. Nevertheless, he had a decent run in the UFC. Even ‘The Eagle’ acknowledged him as the ‘true gangster’ and thanked him for undertaking what no one else would.

When Khabib expressed his gratitude towards Al Iaquinta

Back in 2018, ‘The Eagle’ had a difficult time securing a challenger for his title chance. Al Iaquinta then rose to the occasion and accepted the challenge at an absurdly short notice of just one day. As a result of Khabib‘s victory over Iaquinta in the five-round fight, he has crowned the new lightweight champion of the UFC, while Conor McGregor was stripped of his belt due to inactivity.

Following that, the Dagestani fighter thanked his fallen opponent, Al Iaquinta, for jumping in at the last second and ridiculed the Irishman in the process, too.

“I want to say thank you for my opponent and his team, Iaquinta. Iaquinta is a real Brooklyn gangster. This is not about chicken, Iaquinta is real gangster. He come here, where’s Conor? He want to fight with bus, I want to fight with real gangster… Iaquinta, thank you so much.”

Al Iaquinta played a crucial role in igniting the famous conflict between ‘The Notorious’ and ‘The Eagle’, and is undoubtedly amusing himself by downplaying the conflict he was a catalyst to.
