Former UFC champion Irishman Conor McGregor has announced that he will win ahead of Russian Habib Nurmagomedov.

"You will see a destructive knockout. It's too easy to hit, it's too slow.. I'll send Habib to the knockout.

I very quickly get out of the octagon and I do not care at all - to fight, equipment, etc.. After the gong, I'll go for his head, trust me, "said Conor, quoted by mmafighting. com.

Note that Habib owns the champion title, which was taken from McGregor for passivity. He spent the last fight in 2016, then focused on a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.

MacGregor and Nurmagomedov will converge in the Octagon in Las Vegas, October 7, Kiev time. Live broadcast on 2 + 2 and TSN Prosport.
