UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov once again challenged Conor McGregor to fight, stressing that he was going to destroy the Irishman: "I do not know yet who will be my rival. The battle is likely to take place in Las Vegas. I want to fight McGregor, the fans are also waiting for this fight. I hope that Conor wants this fight. He talked a lot, but for some reason, as soon as it came to real negotiations, he fell silent.

“In which round will I be able to knock out McGregor? I do not know, and no one can know this. I'm going to destroy him, but in what round the fight will end - it's hard to say. What will be the battle with him? I think that the fight will be more in the stalls, we will punch more.

“I am now interested in four rivals. If I win these four fights, you can think about retirement," Nurmagomedov said.
