“I’m going to maul him” – McGregor confident of Khabib KO at UFC 229

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Conor McGregor says he will beat Khabib Nurmagomedov by “Devastating knockout” in his comeback Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight in Las Vegas on Saturday (06).

Speaking on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, Irishman McGregor added he would “Never announce his retirement” from MMA.

McGregor will return to the octagon for the first time in almost two-years when he fights Russia’s undefeated UFC Lightweight Champion Nurmagomedov in UFC 229.

“I’m going to maul him,” McGregor, 30, said.

“I will clatter him; he will crumble. I don’t think he can take a smack. He reacts like a novice.”
