“In fact, if you call someone a chicken in Russia, that is a person that gets raped in prison – in male prison. That's what a chicken is in Russia. And Khabib knows that, and everybody knows that. It is a very, very, severe insult.”

Conor McGregor at UFC 229: Best photos View 33 photos In America, when someone calls another person a “chicken,” it’s considered nothing more than a childish insult. This apparently is not the case in Russia. And so, when Khabib Nurmagomedov started calling Conor McGregor a “chicken” in 2016 and repeatedly hurled the insult at him, McGregor’s SBG Ireland teammate, Artem Lobov, took major exception. In an interview Monday with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, “The Russian Hammer” broke his silence for the first time since an April confrontation with Dagestani champion Nurmagomedov, explaining how “chicken” was the genesis of a bitter feud that culminated with a post-fight melee. “It might not sound very serious to you guys, but just so you know, ‘chicken’ is one of the biggest insults you can give a man in Russia,” said Lobov, adding that him, McGregor and Nurmagomedov were cool with each other prior to the insults. “In fact, if you call someone a chicken in Russia, that is a person that gets raped in prison – in male prison. That’s what a chicken is in Russia. And Khabib knows that, and everybody knows that. It is a very, very, severe insult.” Lobov, whose UFC 223 fight was canceled following McGregor’s retaliatory bus attack aimed at Nurmagomedov, returns to the octagon for the first time in a year on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 138, where he meets Michael Johnson in the FS1-televised co-headliner from Moncton, Canada. For most people, the drama surrounding Nurmagomedov, McGregor and Lobov starts with the confrontation in the host hotel at UFC 223. But, as Lobov explained, the only reason that happened is because of an interview he gave a Russian journalist, who asked him what he thought of Nurmagomedov calling McGregor a “chicken.”

That didn’t happen until UFC 223 fight week in April. The way Lobov described it, he was in the hotel hallway with a UFC public relations staff member getting ready to do an interview when he was approached by Nurmagomedov. At first, Lobov said, Nurmagomedov was alone. Then he walked away and returned with members of his crew, and that’s when he “got brave.” “I’m kind of taken aback by all of this,” Lobov said. “… He kept asking me the same thing: ‘Why did you say that?’ And I kept repeating the same thing. I said, ‘Look, you called my brother a chicken. How could I not respond to you? If someone called your brother a chicken, you probably would’ve responded the same way.’ And he just kept saying, ‘None of your business. Why did you call me that?’ Over and over again. And I explained to him, ‘Look, I didn’t say that to you directly. I said that in response to you calling him a chicken.’ And that was it. That’s how that all happened.”
