Nurmagomedov just added fuel to the fire by taunting McGregor with this GIF of his dominant submission win at UFC 229 in October - complete with an incendiary caption.
Nurmagomedov's post, which also appeared on Instagram, may have been in response to an Insta rant from McGregor in which he took aim at Khabib and his former boxing sparring partner, Paulie Maglinaggi.
