Den högst rankade och obesegrade lättviktaren Khabib Nurmagomedov har haft mycket att säga de senaste veckorna, speciellt efter att Conor McGregor segrade mot lättviktsmästaren Eddie Alvarez.
Khabib anser att detta egentligen var hans match och kräver nu att han ska få nästa titelchans, vilket har gått så långt att han hotat med att riva sitt kontrakt eller göra så att UFC inte kommer att kunna hålla en gala i hans hemland, Ryssland.
Nu hävdar ryssen att han kommer att göra så att McGregor att sluta efter att de möter varandra.
Via ’RT.com’:
Conor [McGregor] is a popular guy. But, if we talk about fans, I think I have more fans than him. Much more. If we have 6 million people in Ireland. What are we talking about? I have 150 million only in Russia. But, if we talk about Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan. Everywhere. Bahrein, Saudi Arabia, Turkey.
I think UFC put me on the ’Prelims’ [undercard] because they don’t want to make me bigger. They have to take care of Conor [McGregor]. They just don’t promote me.
My style is very hard. Because I have pressure, I can take you down – body, single-leg, double-leg. I have very good conditioning. I know this… Conor is a very good striking guy – everybody knows this. Good boxing, good timing. His counter-punches are very good. But, everybody knows I have a very good top control, wrestling, pressure. Why would I fight in a stand up with him? I’m gonna take him down, I’m gonna slap him, make him nervous, talk with him, and make him give up.
