Nurmagomedov: White must stop kissing MacGregor's ass

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov discussed several issues on the eve of his fight with Conor MacGregor. “I want not just to defeat him, but to destroy him. Smudge him. Make surrender, crush his spirit, mind, everything. We need to wait only several days. And then we will see who the real champion is. Who is the real king, and who is the Burger King.

“Dana White needs to stop kissing him in the ass. This is what White needs to do. For the reason that he can say: "Hey, where are Conor's belts." He does not know what happened in the last two years? How many times has Max Holloway defended his title?

“Of course, the UFC leadership wants him to win. I feel that promotion is happy to see me as a champion, because I also have a big name. But I'm not talking about all the people in the UFC. Some wants his victory, of course. Because he is a megastar - they can make a lot of money with him. Why should they see someone smashing his face and destroying his entire hype? They don't need it.

“When you control Conor, when he gets tired, he always gives up. He has tapped out four times in his 30 years, so he can easily give up for the fifth time.

“He has a good whiskey and a lot of money, he says. He believes that this is his legacy. When the cage closes, I'll be around all the time and make this guy tap out. First of all, wear him down and then make him quit. That is my plan,” said Khabib.
