Conor McGregor being… Conor McGregor
It was reported on Monday that Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov would both be appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show.
For anyone with an interest in the big fight on Saturday night in Las Vegas, or the early hours of Sunday morning round these parts, it was one not to be missed.
McGregor went off on one on the show and threatened basically everyone and, in particular, Khabib’s crew, saying they need to watch themselves.
“If it wasn’t for Artem (Lobov) giving me all of himself I wouldn’t be where I am at,” McGregor said. “He has helped me prepare for bouts since the start. Artem has done a lot for me over the years.
“The fact they are from the same place and were both there for fight week. I had helped Artem for that fight, he was in great condition and a lot happened, it was a low move. The other guy, the Chechen guy, it was low.
“Everyone needs to watch where they step, watch what they say, watch what they do, watch where they sleep at night.”
He also teased a fight with Nate Diaz, stating that the trilogy is definitely going to completed, something a lot of fans will be happy about.
“Nate Diaz will always have a rematch off me no matter what happens. He gave me a rematch, I’ll give him a rematch. We will complete that trilogy no doubt about it.
“Lets see what happens. I don’t think next though. I think I’d rather fight for the 170 lb belt myself. I’m not going to shut the door on that next.”
We imagine the overall picture will become a lot clearer after this weekend’s fight.
