Khabib explained why he didn’t react to McGregor’s trash talk: “If a person is stupid, what will you do with it?”

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about numerous provocative statements Conor McGregor at a press conference before their fight.

Recall that in October 2018, the Russian forced the Irishman to surrender in the fourth round.

“The biggest fight in the history of MMA, a huge responsibility. This guy talked a lot, and the scale of the event put pressure on me. I remember my father said then: “Diamonds are born under pressure. If you can handle it, you will become a diamond." Those were great words.

Why didn't I react to Conor's trash talk? I love listening to people. This is very interesting, because from the conversation you can calculate what the IQ of the interlocutor is. If you are stupid, then what can you do about it? If you can't control yourself, then you definitely can't handle me. We are on different levels,” Khabib said on the PBD Podcast.
