McGregor trash talked Khabib in the weeks leading up to the fight, and Nurmagomedov is a very respectful man. He used McGregors words as motivation, but he took them to heart, too. Nurmagomedov, a devout Muslim, kept his cool throughout much of the pre-fight hype with McGregor attempting to get in his head. On one occasion, McGregor jokingly offered to give Khabib a drink of his new whiskey as a sign of disrespect.
