Conor McGregor begins tweeting again after UFC 229 loss to Khabib, hints at next fight Irish MMA star \u2018The Notorious\u2019 Conor McGregor has returned to social media, just days after his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. McGregor disappeared after his submission loss to the expert grappler from Dagestan, Russia, with the Champion showing up at the post-fight press conference, but the Irishman nowhere to be seen. McGregor has since taken to Twitter to make it clear that he isn\u2019t finished with the Russian, posting: \u201cGood knock. Looking forward to the rematch.\u201d Conor doubled down on his statement early on Monday morning, tweeting: \u201cWe lost the fight but won the battle. The war goes on,\u201d alongside a picture of himself in Las Vegas. Nurmagomedov successfully defended his Lightweight Championship in UFC 229\u2019s main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. \u2018The Eagle\u2019 dominated McGregor on the ground, eventually forcing the Irishman to submit to a rear naked choke in the fourth round. We lost the match but won the battle. The war goes on. pic.twitter.com\/CRtPaGfOnn\u2014 Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) October 8, 2018 Khabib\u2019s impressive win was unfortunately marred by an ugly brawl that took place after the bout concluded. The Russian jumped over the side of the Octagon and attacked Conor\u2019s training partner Dillon Danis, while three members of Nurmagomedov\u2019s team climbed into the cage and assaulted McGregor. After the devastating loss, many MMA fans and pundits were unsure of what McGregor would do next, or who he would potentially face in his next fight. It\u2019s clear, however, that the Irishman\u2019s sights are set firmly on an opportunity to avenge his defeat to Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
