Conor McGregor went off on Nate Diaz at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference
Khabib Nurmagomedov is a terrifying man, and on Tuesday he sent a chilling message to Conor McGregor. However, to the likely relief of many McGregor fans, the harrowing threat contained in the Dagestani fighters tweet was not actually aimed at the UFC featherweight champion.
Nurmagomedov is currently the UFCs top-ranked lightweight contender, but ever since Eddie Alvarez got his destructive hands on the 155-pound belt, the undefeated sambo stylists chances of getting a title shot seem to have gotten slimmer and slimmer.
Thats because Alvarez has set his sights on the winner of this weekends huge rematch between McGregor and Nate Diaz, whomever that may turn out to be. At every opportunity, the Philadelphia native has called out the two men and tossed derision in their direction, with The Notorious Irishman seemingly the main target of his taunts.
Alvarez says he just wants a lucrative showdown, acknowledging that fighters only have a limited time in which to accumulate cash, and thus he is taking aim at the two biggest names in or around his division. But in Khabibs eyes, the new champion is a chicken, intent on avoiding him and taking on supposedly less dangerous opposition.
With Alvarez unaffected by these attacks on his manhood, Nurmagomedov turned his attention to McGregor. The Eagle first took a pop at the 28-year-old Pay-per-view star over his March defeat to Diaz, before warning him to stay off that path to the lightweight title.
But it was Alvarez who was the subject of the disturbing imagery that followed.
Eddie, just gather the family and disappear into the night.
