Nurmagomedov was the first fighter to have an open workout session earlier today (Oct. 3). It was clear that the McGregor fans outweighed the Nurmagomedov fans inside the Park Theater. After the fight, Nurmagomedov tested the pro-McGregor crowd (via MMAJunkie.com):
“I have question for Ireland. What about your language? What about your language? What about Irish language? What’s wrong with your language? You guys change? What about your language? Please, can somebody give me answer? What about Ireland language? You guys miss England right now? You guys change your language? Give me answer, someone, if you can. It’s very interesting. In three days, you’re gonna like me. You’re gonna like me in three days.”
