UFC: What did Conor McGregor say?

The Dagestani feels that there is no sense in asking for a re-match when you have tapped out and begged to end the fight. According to Khabib Nurmagomedov, he heard McGregor say “please let me go”  while tapping out and the undefeated lightweight champion feels that it was a clear sign of Conor McGregor wanting to quit the fight. Take a look at the epic clash from UFC 229.

Khabib is currently expected to face No.1 ranked lightweight Tony Ferguson in his last fight and the 'Dagestani' has no intentions of running it back with Conor McGregor. Khabib Nurmagomedov had to fight around 10 fights before getting a shot at 155 lbs and according to him, Conor McGregor should win ten fights in a row in order to earn a re-match against him for the lightweight gold. Till then, Khabib wants to beat the best fighters of the division and beyond.
