The Irishman once lashed out at former undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov for his critical comments about the Brazilian. In a 2021 press conference for the Gorilla Fighting championship (now known as Eagle FC), the Russian suggested that Jose Aldo was no longer in his prime and that the T.K.O loss to Petr Yan was proof of that: "He got beat up when he fought... Petr Yan right?... Just like Aldo's fight against Pedro Munhoz, let him fight Yan the same way and then we can say he has peaked again. You saw what he did, he closed up and waited for the ref to stop the fight. That shows you're not at your peak. I call those fighters businessmen, they come out to make money."

In an Instagram live post, 'The Notorious' said: "Another press conference! What’s he even doing? More talking is he? Then disrespecting Aldo? Little fool of a thing. I’m sick of these little fools mouthing about people."
