With almost an hour of time to field questions at the same time, the UFC 223 conference call was full of soundbites between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. The lightweight top contender and interim champion respectively got into it over everything from Reebok sponsorship to dessert choices.
In the midst of it all, however, Khabib gave fans a prediction of how he thinks the fight will go, and it sounds like he’s aiming for a classic club-n-sub (transcript via MMA Fighting).
“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.
