This is The A-Side Live Chat on MMA Fighting.
Today on the show, we’ll talk last week’s Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor UFC 229 press conference in New York and the fallout from everything that was said. Will anything that happened in the presser manifest itself in the city? Did McGregor go too far with some of his geo-political statements? Was Nurmagomedov affected?
We’ll also discuss UFC 230 and the situation surrounding its main event. Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz want to fight each other in the headliner for a new 165-pound UFC title, but the UFC is apparently saying no.
