Conor McGregor made his much anticipated return at UFC 257 and got disrespectfully welcomed back by the second round of his battle in Abu Dhabi.

McGregor, who was fighting for the first time in a year, lost to Dustin Poirier via second-round TKO.

Aside from all of the funny memes about him after the bout, it was Khabib who went super viral with his shot to McGregor.

This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality.

After UFC 257, Dana White says he spoke to Khabib, who made it very clear that he is not coming back.

Dana White: "I did talk to Khabib. And he said to me, 'Dana be honest with yourself. I'm so many levels above these guys, I beat these guys.' I don't know. But it doesn't sound very positive. We'll see.” #UFC257
