While speaking to Alexander Lyutikov via MMA Fighting, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father Abdulmanap mentioned that Conor won’t be ready for the fight no matter how many coaches he has. He would then go on to mention that Khabib will take him down and they will finish this fight when they want.
“Let’s put together the best wrestling coaches from Dagestan, Japan, USA, Turkey . . . even they will not be able to prepare McGregor for this fight in three months. No one can help him. You can’t do that in such a short time. He needs to start studying it from the beginning. To improve his wrestling in several months, it’s impossible. [Conor is dangerous] for 8 to 9 minutes, no more. After the first clinch, Khabib will take him down. We will finish this fight when we want. We respect our fans. If they want to watch all five rounds, we will fight all five rounds. But after two rounds, he has nothing to do on his feet. After two rounds, he will not be able to do anything. We don’t want to lose even one round. Khabib has never lost a single round. Only a referee can protect Conor, that’s why he will be in the cage.”
