Conor McGregor has never needed a microphone to stir a rivalry. Sometimes, a video does the job just fine. This time, it pulled Mike Tyson into a feud that never seems to age as Khabib Nurmagomedov takes a jab at the Irishman.

Back in Dublin, a star-struck McGregor was walking the 59-year-old boxing legend through footwork and combinations, explaining a sequence he attributed to Canelo Alvarez and Anthony Joshua.

“They go low to the body and go high, you see that shot? One, boom,” McGregor said in the video, bouncing through the movement. “So I was doing this, right, like you [Tyson]. A lot of people in boxing step forward, yeah? You never. You jumped in, and then you’re [much closer to the inside]. You’re right here, and I’m just doing the simple drills.”

Then the camera cut to Mike Tyson with his mouth open and eyes wide. Either confused, overwhelmed, or simply amused by the moment. Was it respect? Was it disbelief? That ambiguity became the punchline once Khabib Nurmagomedov weighed in.

“Show me how to wrestle )))),” The Eagle wrote in the comments.

Of course, the history they share keeps coming back, even if it involved Tyson in one way or the other.

While McGregor was talking boxing theory, the Dagestani legend reminded everyone of the one lesson that defined their rivalry: wrestling. Yet, this isn’t the first time their feud has resurfaced without warning. Just weeks ago, Conor McGregor reignited things by accusing Nurmagomedov of scamming fans over an online auction tied to signed papakha headwear.

Nurmagomedov fired back, calling McGregor “an absolute liar,” and defending both his name and his platform. Different topic. Same bitterness.

The backdrop hasn’t changed.

Their October 2018 clash at UFC 229 remains one of the most infamous fights in MMA history. Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted the Irishman in the fourth round. Then came the chaos. A cage jump, a brawl, suspensions, fines, and a rivalry that has spilled far beyond the Octagon.

However, after all these years, is there a way for the duo to make peace and let the feud die out?

Joe Rogan points out the only way Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s feud can come to an end

Joe Rogan doesn’t think time alone will cool this one off. Years have passed, careers have diverged, yet the aftershocks continue to resurface in unexpected places. UFC 322 was the latest reminder.

While Islam Makhachev was winning gold, chaos found McGregor’s long-time training partner, Dillon Danis, again, this time at the cageside as a brawl exploded between him and the Dagestani camp.

“They just f— Dillon Danis up this past weekend. Did you see that? They don’t forget,” Rogan addressed it bluntly on his podcast. That line matters. Because to Rogan, this feud isn’t fueled by tweets or promotional trash talk. It’s personal memory.

And memory doesn’t fade easily in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s world. So what would it actually take to end MMA’s ugliest rivalry? The UFC color commentator is clear that if there’s a resolution, it won’t happen under bright lights.

“It would have to be in private, and he would have to really mean it. And you’d have to convince Khabib that you really mean it, because he just doesn’t play that game. That talking s— to sell a fight, he doesn’t play that game.”

For The Eagle, words aren’t currency. Actions are. Respect isn’t negotiated publicly. It’s earned quietly, if at all. So, does this rivalry ever truly come to an end? Probably not. It doesn’t need fresh insults or new confrontations to survive. Sometimes, all it takes is a boxing drill, a confused heavyweight legend, and a single reminder of what mattered most when they finally locked the door and fought!
