The Russian MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his expectations of the battle planned for April 7 against Tony Ferguson and told about further plans.

"I'm going to make McGregor humble. I will defeat Tony, and then I'll tell Conor: "Hey, you need to stand in line, because you have to earn it." He only has one fight at 155 pound. I will be 26-0 and will have the lightweight title. I will be an undefeated and undisputed champion.

"The fighters want to meet McGregor and make money, but I'm not in this sport to earn money. I can earn a lot of money in Russia with the help of other things. I come here to create history and create my legacy.

I have a very tough opponent. In my opinion, Tony Ferguson is a real champion, and I'm going to destroy this guy. I'll smash this guy, make him humble, because he's a bit blunt. He is a tough opponent and an excellent fighter, but I do not like him personally," Nurmagomedov said.
