26 Memes for Anyone Who's Happy Conor Mcgregor Lost to Khabib

Conor McGregor's not just the biggest name in Mixed Martial Arts, he's also one of the biggest star athletes in the world, and that fame has been propelled by his epic smack talk and ability to sell a fight. Any pugilist who has a scrap with McGregor can enjoy a hefty paycheck, along with an out-of-control build up to said fight.

The brash Irishman treated his lightweight fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov no different, and even got himself arrested for attacking a bus with a posse the Dagestani fighter was sitting in in retaliation for Khabib's team accosting his friend and training partner Artem Lobov in a hotel lobby.

And while there was a point in time the two men were on friendly terms and even discussed training together, it was clear that the two camps seriously hated each other leading up to their huge bout at UFC 229. In case anyone thought it was all drummed up to sell fight tickets, that notion clearly went out the window when Khabib, after submitting McGregor in the fourth round of their fight, jumped out of the cage to fight Conor's entire team after they were still talking smack following the Dagestani fighter's victory.

All of the drama left the fight as one of the most talked about scraps in sports history, and left the internet with tons of memes relishing in the fact that Conor talked a huge game, but ended up losing big-time.

This one captured the horror/excitement people experienced when Khabib decided to jump out of the cage and try to fight Dillon Danis, McGregor's friend and grappling coach, after he exchanged words with the UFC lightweight champ.

A lot of Khabib's fans made some Muslim-themed memes to highlight that Conor's trash-talking wasn't backed up when he tapped to a face crank from the Dagestani fighter.

You know, because Islam is defined as "submission to God," and Conor was submitted and...well, you know once a joke is explained it isn't really all that funny anymore.

So if you're a fighter and Drake wants to be in your corner, maybe take a second or two to reconsider.

There's always a downside to talking smack. Sure, you sell the fight, but when you lose, well, it's not a good look. Especially when you were dominated like Conor was.

I mean, yeah, this first image was from a completely different fight, but Conor did come out totally swag-tastic prior to his fight with Khabib.

All of Ireland probably took the loss particularly hard after seeing Conor controlled and dominated for four rounds before finally succumbing to Khabib's submission.

Crying Jordan strikes again.

Then again, it's hard to prepare for a guy who was wrestling bears at 12 years old.

I mean, he's set to make a cool $50 million for his Khabib fight after PPV buys are factored in.

That is an uncanny resemblance. I'd be down to see a scrap between these two, on a completely unrelated note.

I got Nacho Libre by TKO for his next bout.

Hell in a cell? Yes, please.

Still wish he didn't jump over the cage, though. I would've loved to see Khabib on a Wheaties box.

Hey that's the fight game. I hope he drops a single about it.

Something tells me that Khabib wouldn't approve of this joke, however.

This is a top-level photoshop right here.

Still won the fight, though.

I think Khabib's gonna win the next one via Boston Crab.

I mean he didn't look that bad afterwards, just a real good shiner under his left eye.

And this is coming from a man who bit another fighter's ear off.

I relate hard to that last one.

Whoever created this is a genius.

This man has provided us with so many memes for so many years, bless him.

Yes, he has an English accent but it's so so good.

So wonderful.

We still don't know what kind of punishment Khabib is potentially facing from the Nevada State Athletic commission, but if he's suspended for a long period of time, the UFC may strip him of his belt. So Conor might just get the last laugh with this one. If anything it's just more fodder for a rematch. I love the fight game.
