Conor McGregor Gives His Real Opinion Of Khabib

If you’re a fan of the UFC and MMA as a whole, then you are certainly aware of the beef between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. These two ended up battling it out against one another back in 2018 and as we all know by now, Khabib is the one who came away from the fight as the victor. The beef between these two was quite ugly but over the past few months, McGregor has actually been quite sympathetic to Khabib, especially after the latter announced his retirement after defeating Justin Gaethje.

Now, McGregor is giving Khabib a whole lot of respect. Yesterday, McGregor conducted a Q&A session on Twitter, where his fans could ask him anything. When asked about Khabib and what he truly thought of him as a fighter, McGregor replied by saying he thinks Khabib is actually the best in the world right now, although he won’t be for much longer.

“A phenomenal grappler fighter. The current best in the sport with it. I’ve the answer however and they know it,” McGregor wrote.

While Khabib is ultimately retired from the sport, McGregor is still going and in January, he will be taking on Dustin Poirier in what should be a spirited rematch for the ages. After McGregor’s knockout of Cowboy Cerrone, we’re sure he’ll be hungry to get yet another W.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.

Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
