Their war started when Conor attacked the bus on which Khabib and his teammates were going. The fight between these two holds the record of one of the largest PPV buyouts for UFC. Conor even trash talked about Khabib’s father and his religion in the pre-fight press conference.

But Khabib humbled him when they faced each other inside the Octagon, ‘The Eagle’ led Conor to tap out during the match. After this fight, he attacked Conor’s teammates that led him to face a year of suspension from UFC. But now things seemed to be cooled down between these two.

After Khabib announced his retirement Conor appreciated his carrier record and now he posted another tweet in his appreciation.
