Ever since Conor McGregor allegedly targeted Khabib Nurmagomedov in a bus attack within the Barclays Center on April 5, the two mixed martial artists have seemingly been on a collision course destined for the octagon. Now “The Eagle” has come forward with a few words on the matter.
Speaking to sports24.ru, Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed an interest in fighting “Notorious” for his first UFC lightweight title defense.
“I do not yet know who my opponent will be. The fight will likely 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 down to real negotiations about the fight, he fell silent.”
“In what round will I be able to knock McGregor out? I do not know, and no one can know this. I’m going to destroy him.”
