Nurmagomedov calls out McGregor again, demands 'respect'

Khabib Nurmagomedov's postfight comments after Saturday's win over Michael Johnson don't appear to be the end of his appeal for a bout with Conor McGregor.

After calling the two-division champion a "chicken" at UFC 205, Nurmy took to Twitter on Tuesday to continue his request for a shot at "The Notorious."

"The Eagle" will have to wait for his shot, though, as McGregor is planning to take some time off for the birth of his child. The Irishman's coach, John Kavanagh, stated Monday he doesn't believe Nurmagomedov is McGregor's No. 1 contender, ranking Nate Diaz ahead of the Russian lightweight.
