Tszyu: I am sure that Nurmagomedov will be able to cope with McGregor's striking skills

Andrew Karlov Sept. 28, 2018, 8:51 a.m.

Former world boxing champion Kostya Tszyu shared his expectations from the fight between UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov of Russia and Irishman Conor MacGregor.

“I am sure that Nurmagomedov will be able to cope with the striking skills of MacGregor. The fight will be difficult, spectacular, but I think that it will end in favor of Russia, and moreover by knockout. Russian fighters are already in the top of the best boxers, so they are in demand all over the world. But, unfortunately, today our fighters do not receive decent purses," Tszyu said.

Nurmagomedov and McGregor will meet on October 6 in Las Vegas within the UFC 229 tournament.
