The UFC's biggest event of the year is under a week away as Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov prepare for their blockbuster contest at UFC 229.
The pair traded insults at a recent press conference, ratcheting up an already heated rivalry. Now, in an interview recorded with ESPN last Friday, Nurmagomedov stated his intention to "humble" and "maul" the Irish star.
Nurmagomedov was visibly scarred, presumably due to his training camp antics. He told journalist Brett Okamoto he planned on asking McGregor a series of questions: "I am going to ask him 'hey, where is your bus? Where is your other guys? What happen now? Where is everything? Bring everybody here. We will see."
