Khabib Nurmagomedov retired after winning over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and never hinted to return.

Nurmagomedov retired from mixed martial arts in March 2021, keeping the promise he made to his mother after his father, Abdulmanap, died.

Now, one of his biggest rivals, Conor McGregor has criticized by calling The Eagle afraid to face it in a rematch.

McGregor and Khabib fought in UFC 229 but he lost to the Russian fighter's lockdown in the fourth round.

In a post on Twitter that has now been deleted, The Notorious mocked Nurmagomedov by saying his rival "objected" when he retired.

McGregor also revealed that given the huge potential for this fight, his own father would slap Nurmagomedov for rejecting him.

Actually you know why I don't want to fight that odor bag, there is a much better fight out there. But let's know, the biggest wet bed in the history of the fight is this person (Khabib).

Think about the amount of injury that will be caused by this fight. You're really a coward. Your brother will really hurt you.

He even posted photos of their matches with the following caption:

"King lion chills. Without injury. They won't do anything. Wait and I wake up, I'm going to beat the whole family. Above the cage, a lot. It's a'singal' there. And a mouse eats away."

However, the post has also been deleted.
