One barb McGregor did fire recently came in the direction of Nurmagomedov's father, Abdulmanap. “Mentally they can’t get (under our skin). In that aspect we are standing firm,” said Nurmagomedov, as translated by RT.com. “We are even letting certain things pass. But we are not forgiving anything. The cage and the fight are still ahead [for Khabib and Conor].” “For the hype, for the money and to bury Conor’s era, it is even better for us." Nurmagomedov has been warned not to underestimate McGregor by Jon Jones. “I believe that Conor McGregor has wrestling,” declared Jones, during an appearance on Allow Me to Interrupt. “I don’t think it’s at the level of Khabib. “I believe Khabib will get the majority of his takedowns that he goes for but Conor, he’s an athlete. He shouldn’t be underestimated.”
