“Call me The Hall of Fame,” Conor McGregor reacts to Proper 12’s ad on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Hall of Fame induction

Khabib Nurmagomedov- Conor McGregor

UFC megastar Conor McGregor is a name huge enough that even his company sponsors UFC events now. McGregor, the former simultaneous 2-division UFC champion, and the first-ever to be of that status was last seen in his trilogy against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 which he lost due to a brutal shin fracture. Since then, McGregor has recovered successfully and is planning to return as soon as possible.

McGregor is wishing for a third UFC belt in his legacy by challenging for the welterweight title against the current champion Kamaru Usman. However, Usman is scheduled to fight #2 ranked welterweight Leon Edwards in August, so McGregor would probably like to fight the winner on his return. But the fans majorly want “The Notorious” to return against Nate Diaz for an epic trilogy to conclude a legendary rivalry between 2 megastars.

McGregor’s photo of the HoF ceremony included the advertisement for his famous whiskey company, Proper 12. The advertisement came out right in front of Nurmagomedov’s picture on the massive screen of the ceremony’s venue. McGregor wrote in the caption: “Proper Twelve, proud maker of the ufc hof show! Call me The HOFF [umbrella emoji] @properwhiskey [drink emoji]”

In another tweet moments after, McGregor wrote Looking forward to my own hall of fame entry all the same, I’m a shoe in. First of everything. All the records. KO speed. Knockdown amount. KO’s most divisions. Financials. You name it. No rush tho I’m still in to bust noses open and put opps unconscious. A real goer.
