Khabib Nurmagomedov Says He’ll Destroy Conor McGregor

In an interview with Sport24 (via Bloody Elbow), UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said that he will destroy Conor McGregor if the two ever meet for a fight. Here are highlights:

On his next fight: ”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.”

On how a fight with McGregor will go: “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.”
