Khabib and Tony Ferguson engaged in a intense staredown at today’s UFC 249 press conference

Khabib Nurmagomedov reacts following heated staredown with Tony Ferguson

Khabib caught up with ESPN where he shared the following reaction to today’s heated confrontation with Ferguson.

“Honestly, when I go to the press conference I think I want to be nice. You know I don’t want to go crazy. You know? But, when he talk about street fight, I go a little bit… A little bit crazy, yes.” Khabib Nurmagomedov explained. “Because this guy never fight in street. What are you talking about? Who? You know, I have a lot of fight in street. This guy never fight. Because in America, you cannot fight in street. But I grew up in Dagestan, everyday I fight in the street. You talk about street fight?” Khabib Nurmagomedov continued:

“Because people don’t understand. Maybe people think I am like him from America. But I am not from America. You know? I am from Dagestan and we fight all the time here. Like in school, like in everywhere. Gym. Like I have a lot of fights in street and when he talk about street fight, I no understand. This guy never fight in street.”

Lots of trash talk between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson Tony: "Raise your hand if you think I'm in his head already."


Khabib: "Never. Nobody can come inside my mind, nobody. This is unreal. Of course, he makes me mad right now because he lie. He's not Mexican. He's 'fake Mexican,' this one is true. Say true. Ferguson: "I'm American and I'm f*cking Mexican and I'm proud." Ferguson to Khabib: you’re f*n fat. You’re about the same size as Cormier right now.
