When Laura Sanko made an eye-opening comparison between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov: "Enjoys putting out completely false information"

Laura Sanko, a former MMA fighter and current UFC analyst, once made a striking comparison between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, shedding light on their differing approaches to the media and public perception.

Speaking on a 2020 episode of MMA on Fanatics View, Sanko discussed the two legendary fighters, particularly in the context of Khabib's retirement and McGregor's public antics:

“Between him and Conor, I swear the toying with our emotions. I think he takes a different perspective than Conor does. Conor enjoys putting out completely false information just to play with us, play with the media. I think he has fun doing that.”

While Khabib’s reserved nature fuels his mystique, McGregor’s flamboyant antics keep him in the spotlight, even during long absences from the ring:

“I think Khabib is just a very principled individual who other people, whether it’s Dana [White], or the media, or whoever, will take pieces of what they say and put that to the forefront. So I’m not trying to say that Khabib enjoys toying us the way the Conor does.”

Jake Paul takes jibe at Conor McGregor while congratulating Paul Huges

In a closely contested bout at the Coca-Cola Arena, Hughes pushed Usman Nurmagomedov, Khabib’s cousin, to his limits.

The Irishman’s ability to neutralize the Bellator lightweight champion’s wrestling with precise body shots and swift reflexes forced Usman into prolonged stand-up exchanges. Despite Hughes absorbing significant damage, his resilience kept the fight competitive until the final bell.

The judges ultimately awarded Usman a majority decision, which sparked debate in the fight community, with many arguing Hughes deserved the win.

Among the vocal supporters of Hughes was Jake Paul, who took to social media platform X, saying:

"Paul Hughes did what Conor McGregor couldn't. Congrats my guy. You won regardless of the outcome. Big ups to both men."
