Khabib Nurmagomedov uses visit to Calgary to set stage for ‘The Fight’

UFC Fight Week isn’t what it used to be, but it helps when you have Khabib Nurmagomedov in town for the festivities just as Conor McGregor resolves his legal trouble for trying to throw a dolly through a bus window to kill him. That was Calgary this past weekend. Nurmagomedov — still very much alive and intact — was in Alberta to corner his pal Islam Makhachev, yet everybody wanted to know when he’s fighting McGregor, how he plans to hurt him, and whether he’d do it quick or dole out 25 minutes of old country justice.
