Fresh Tack:
MMA heavyweight, Khabib Nurmagomedov, famously known as "The Eagle," has quipped at a staggering $100 million offer from Saudi Arabia, for a rematch with Irish Conor McGregor, according to media buzz.
In a sarcastic response to the staggering sum, Nurmagomedov remarked, "You're willing to pay me $100 million to punch that goon again?" addressed to the Saudi authorities. "I'd say that offer doesn't make any sense," he added.
Laughing off Riyadh's enticing proposal, Nurmagomedov emphasized that the money wasn't "motivating him" in the least, further stating he had no desire to engage McGregor during the current period.
Rather than accepting the hefty sum, the Russian champion urged the Saudi authorities to distribute the massive fund to the needy populace or invest it in charitable initiatives.
