Here’s where you can watch the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor press conference

McGregor press conference

It’s the last time they’ll properly exchange words before the fight.

We’re nearly there.

UFC 229 is only a matter of days away, and we can not wait.

All has gone to plan so far.

Nobody has got injured, the build-up has been incredible, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best fights of all time.

But we still have the small matter of the final press conference.

The previous presser, which was a media only event, was absolutely insane, so we can only imagine what tonight’s event is going to look like with thousands of fans in attendance.

It’s supposed to kick-off at 11pm Irish time, we expect that it won’t properly get underway until 23:20 because there’s usually a 20 minute delay to allow for McGregor’s antics.

Even the casual fans among us will probably want to tune in to the press conference.

It’s McGregor’s bread and butter, and might end up being more entertaining than the actual fight itself.

As for the last press conference in New York, it had a bit of everything…

It had a Russian history lesson given by a man from Crumlin, terrorism allegations, complete composure from Nurmagomedov (for the most part), and the words “the smell of shite off your da” finally said on a global stage.

So here’s hoping tonight is as hilarious as it should be, and it gets us even more excited for this weekend.
