Khabib spoke about his father's important words before the fight with McGregor
Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his memories of a conversation with his father before the fight with Conor McGregor.
“My father was very strong mentally. I got this from him. He taught me all these things. I remember when we had the biggest fight in UFC history, it was very difficult. I was without a father, in the USA...
He called me and said, “You know how people make diamonds?” Under the highest pressure. So when you experience it, you can either become a diamond or be broken. There are only two options. You have a choice before you.” He taught me things like this all my life,” Nurmagomedov said in an interview with UFC Eurasia.
