Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov - The History, The Gossip, and The Odds By: Chris Watford

As much as I hate using the word “troll,” it’s the perfect way to describe Conor McGregor. The guy really knows how to hype up a fight, build a rivalry and talk an obscene amount of trash. But McGregor has taken things up a few too many notches this year with his fight against Khabib looming closer and closer. In April, Khabib got into a scuffle with one of McGregor’s long-time friends and McGregor didn’t take it lightly, to say the least. Days after the scuffle, McGregor showed up to the Barclay Center and ordered Khabib to leave the bus that him and other fighters were occupying. After Khabib refused to leave the bus, McGregor escalated the situation by throwing a hand truck at the bus, incidentally breaking the glass and injuring two fighters that were inside the bus. McGregor ended up with two charges from this confrontation. Of course, McGregor didn’t get in too much trouble from the bus incident; only having to serve five days of community service, McGregor was cleared to fight in the octagon shortly thereafter.

In preparation for the fight Khabib has started working with one of McGregor’s former training partners: Myles Price. Price had a few things to say about McGregor in a Eurobash podcast. “I’ll be honest with you, I never really got on well with Conor within the gym because me and Conor sparred a lot (...) Basically, with Conor, he’s quite narcissistic. He’ll see you as competition. He’s not very nice to be around in the gym.” With Khabib working with McGregor’s former training partner there is a possibility that Price can give Khabib some insight on how McGregor moves, fights, and thinks in the octagon, possibly giving him an advantage.

Bust out the coolers and the grill on Saturday, October 6th to watch Conor McGregor (+140) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (-155) spar it out in the octagon at 10 PM ET on PPV.
