Khabib was subjected to a torrent of abuse from McGregor at the first UFC 229 press conference, in New York, and will face off with the Dubliner again on Thursday in a press conference that will be open to the public.
Following the attack on a bus carrying Nurmagomedov, by McGregor and his entourage, back in April, the tension and spotlight have been ramped up.
The Dagestani is prepared for that, he says, and the main event fight this coming weekend. Nurmagomedoc commented:
"With him, I'm going to talk a little bit different. Make him humble, teach him (and) sometimes slap him; make him tired. "When he is always tired he tries to give up, you know, and try to take you down - 'Oh please, choke me quickly because I am very tired' - like he did with Nate Diaz. But it is going to be a long night for him. A long night. "I'm going to make him tired. I'm going to maul him, inside the cage. "I'm going to ask him, 'Hey, where is your bus? Where are your other guys? Where's everything? Bring everybody here'.""We will see, we will see," he added. "It will be interesting, sometimes you never know what you are going to say but I will talk to Dana [White] and with him. Crush his hype!" https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/1046471585056485376 This will be one hell of a fight-week.
