Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier had an interesting conversation during their lightweight title fight.
On UFC 242, on September 7, 2019, at the Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, VAE, two legendary hunters went to toe.
In the opening round, 'The Eagle' showed his incredible grasping skills and dominated his opponent on the floor.
Then, after the bell, he started talking to his rival.

Khabib Nurmagomedov asked Dustin Poirier how he felt after the first round
In his career, Khabib Nurmagomedov has humiliated Belal Muhammad in training and destroyed Conor McGregor in the cage. But his version against Dustin Poirier is still one of his greatest achievements.
After he had had such a fantastic start of the fight, the Warrior decided to start Mind games with his opponent. “
In an interview with ESPN, De Dagestani revealed: “When I was in the cage with Dustin, I tell him after the first round:” How do you feel “?”
Nurmagomedov then revealed what a cool and composed Poirier replied: “He said,” Nothing, you win the first round. “
While he was undoubtedly behind the cards, the American gathered back and landed a huge blow that hurt his opponent, followed by a guillotine attempt that almost closed the show.
But in the end the champion fought through and provided his own entry to keep the belt.
Although the legend, however, loved talking to his own opponents in the cage, he finds it stressful speaking with Islam Makhachev when he is in the hit of battle.
'When I was outside [of the cage] I was talking to Islam for 25 minutes. I can't do anything. I don't like this to be honest. “
Khabib Nurmagomedov reminds of Brutal Street Brawl, where he had to take two brothers to avenge his cousin
It comes as no big surprise that Khabib Nurmagomedov is struggling to see Makhachev fight in the cage.
After all, this is a man who is willing to do everything for those he cares about.
On an opportunity, he agreed to recover in the honor of his cousin after his family member was beaten up.
A furious Nurmagomedov eventually had a street browl with two different people.
