What Conor McGregor told Khabib Nurmagomedov during the intense confrontation of UFC 229

Conor McGregor made up for lost time against Khabib Nurmagomedov on Thursday night.

The former two-heavyweight UFC champion faces the lightweight king on October 6 in Las Vegas.

This will be the Irishman's first fight in mixed martial arts since he stopped Eddie Alvarez to win the 155lb belt for almost two years.

And after an intense press conference during which a stoic Nurmagomedov had trouble getting noticed, the two men clashed.

UFC President Dana White first kept his rivals at arm's length before McGregor said, "Come on, I'm not going to touch him, I'm not going to touch him. the eyes."

White replied, "Do not touch yourself, please" before allowing the fighters to come closer.

Once nose to nose, McGregor said to Nurmagomedov: "You're dead, you're dead, you're dead, I can see blue lips, blue lips."

Full face to face, White said: "Okay, guys face to face," before McGregor adds: "Blue lips, take a breath child."

Nurmagomedov's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, then entered the fray while McGregor posed with the two belts he held simultaneously.

The 30-year-old athlete was stripped of both 145 lb and 155 lb straps during his UFC hiatus during which he fought with Floyd Mayweather.

"Get it*** From there, this mother does not have a belt, "said Ali Abdelaziz.

McGregor did not like the interjection.

"Shut your mouth, Ali Abdelaziz, You, terrorist!" He said. "I know a lot about you too, you crazy rat, I also know a lot about you, you keep your mouth shut, let me take my picture.

"How's Noah?" How's Noah? Yeah, shut your mouth! Never talk about me, never in your life! Look around me, because you'll be out of here fast.

"Fool, do not come to the king, never come to the king!"

McGregor is supposed to refer to the time of Al Abdelaziz as an informant for the FBI after he was recruited to help them in an investigation into the organization of Muslims in America.
