Pleasantries were few and far between on the UFC 223 conference call on Wednesday.
In the midst of an epic back-and-forth between headliners Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov, the Russian predicted that he will finish “El Cucuy” in Brooklyn next Saturday.
According to “The Eagle”, the fight-finishing sequence will begin with a left hook and end with a choke.
“I’m going to give him a very strong left hook — left hook, he goes down and then I choke him,” chimed Nurmagomedov when he was asked how the fight would come to close.
