KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVWhere is Conor? He wanna fight with a bus. I want to fight with a real gangster. Iaquinta, thank you so much.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVMy style is not like anyone’s. I’m not a typical wrestler.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI need eight weeks, train hard, last one week make weight, and go to the war. Because when I go to the war, I have to know I am ready or no.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVYou have to punch hard for knockouts, and to beat me, you have to knock me out.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVGive me 30 minutes rest, little drink of water. Give me 30 minutes, and I can fight with anybody.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI never have a problem with the weight cut. My number one enemy is injuries because I train so hard.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVWhen I fought with Michael Johnson, when I took his arm for the kimura, I can break it, but I go very slowly, be careful, because I don’t want to give him injury.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVThey’re all fake belts. To be honest, I think real belt is Tony Ferguson’s.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVNext fight? If the UFC tell me, ‘What do you want?’ I’m going to say Tony Ferguson.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI don’t know about politics so much. I’m a professional athlete.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI think about only me.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVMy best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVOf course I am tough, but I am smart, too. I’m more smart than tough. People watching my record and say that this guy is tough. This is not about tough; this is about mind. You think when you fight. This is about everything.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI don’t think I’m a bad guy from Dagestan. I think I’m a good guy from Dagestan. But for my opponents, for sure, I’m a bad guy because when I go to the cage every time, I smash my opponents.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI came to the UFC to fight with top-level fighters and become the undisputed, undefeated champion. This is my goal.
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOVI don’t fight for the money. I fight for my legacy. I fight for history. I fight for my people.
