De cara a su duelo del próximo 6 de octubre en Las Vegas, Conor McGregor y Khabib Nurmagomedov se vieron las caras finalmente el jueves en el Radio City Music Hall de Nueva York. Los dos promovieron el combate, en el cual el irlandés regresará tras dos años de ausencia en UFC y lo hará ante el campeón de peso ligero, el ruso Nurmagomedov.
“Voy a gozar al darle una golpiza a esta rata de quijada de vidrio”, dijo McGregor sobre el campeón. “No ha enfrentado a absolutamente nadie. Lo voy a destruir y desmantelar. Es un hombre muerto caminando”.
“Puede hablar todo lo que quiera”, dijo Nurmagomedov. “Va a hablar, lo sé. Cuando cierren la reja, ¿qué vas a hacer? Te voy a desmantelar”.
