While speaking with MMA Junkie, Randy Couture discussed the upcoming fight between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov and said that he believes he’s going to give Conor some trouble with his style of fighting.
“Not only does he not run his mouth and all the extracurricular stuff, but he’s got that grinding style that was kind of my forte. So, I like the way he fights. Some people don’t like the way he fights – I think he’s brilliant. I think he’s exactly the type of fighter that’s going to give Conor McGregor trouble. We’ve seen that a little bit with Chad Mendes. We saw it a little bit with Nate Diaz – that style that forces him to fight on the ground off his back potentially is a style that’s going to give him trouble.”
