Conor McGregor was late as usual to today’s UFC 229 pre-fight press conference from Las Vegas, Nevada.

This time, however, his opponent wasn’t willing to play his game. Undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov decided he had enough of ‘The Notorious” antics and stormed off with title in tow.

The infamous Irishman showed up shortly thereafter, however, and suggested he was only a “couple of minutes late.” Asked what he thought Khabib leaving, the former two-division champ had a predictable response:

“Yeah, I did not plan this. Like I said, I tried to get here. I’m only a couple of minutes late, for f**k’s sake. He’s from a backwards country, he might as well just stayed put.

“But whatever, that’s a sign he doesn’t wanna be around me. He doesn’t wanna be around these people (thunderous cheers), he’s petrified, and that’s it. He said nothing in New York, and I guarantee he was saying s**t about me when I wasn’t here. So that’s the truth of it. But hey, it is what it is.”

‘The Notorious’ then put his focus on Nurmagomedov simply making it to the fight. He said he would have liked a faceoff, but he’s had many of those over his fighting career. What’s much more important, he said, was an oft-injured fighter like ‘The Eagle’ making weight and showing up to fight:

“I’m here to fight this man Saturday night. So look, he has to make weight. Make sure he goes and get that f**ckin’ weight off, and that’s more important for me. I want him making weight, I want him to show up Saturday night because he has pulled out of fights and been rushed to the hospital very last minute and all this other bollocks.

“So get that man in the sauna and cook him like the little chicken-jaw rat that he is!”

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov just pulled off a huge power play at the UFC 229 press conference.

“The Eagle” is preparing to defend his title against Conor McGregor in the main event of the pay-per-view (PPV). Today (Thurs. October 4, 2018) the pre-fight press conference went down, in which both Khabib and McGregor were expected to verbally battle.

That’s not at all what happened. McGregor didn’t show up to the press conference on time, leaving Khabib and Dana White to start things off by themselves. Khabib took several questions from the media over the course of a few minutes and then decided to call it a day.

Khabib thanked everyone for coming, before picking up his title, and leaving. Earlier in the presser, Khabib talked about being on time and not wanting to wait for anyone. After fulfilling his obligations, “The Eagle” picked up his gold and stormed off the stage. Check out the presser here:

Earlier today, speculation ran wild when UFC President Dana White revealed he would ‘try’ to make the UFC 230 co-main between Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier a five-round main event.

White and the UFC announced that the UFC 230 main event would feature Valentina Shevchenko vs. Sijara Eubanks earlier this week. The decision left many fans surprised and shocked that bout would headline a major PPV from New York.

The UFC exec was asked about the fight’s status at the beginning of today’s UFC 229 pre-fight press conference. White gave a brief update on the on Diaz vs. Poirier:

“We’re still working on New York. And as far I know right now, that’s fight’s happening. Yes.”

Pressed about whether it was the main event or not, White backed off his promise and emphatically said it was not:

“No. Not the main event.”

Well, that’s that. At least for now, as White has been known to say one thing and do the other immediately afterward. As he likes to say, ‘we’ll see what happens.’ Indeed we will.
