Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov once again I remembered the fight with the former holder of titles in two divisions Conor McGregor, which brought him worldwide fame.
“I remember that evening. I was very charged and couldn’t wait for the octagon to close. I was wondering how this guy would cope with my pressure, with my struggle, with control from above, with my will and my endurance.
I wanted to feel his strength and speed, his accuracy and timing. We were 30 years old, in the prime of our lives. This was interesting to me as a fan. Not only for the reason that he is my opponent or enemy,” the Dagestani said in an interview with ESPN.
Let us remember that in 2018, Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor by submission in the fourth round.
