New photo Conor McGregor swigs whiskey and unleashes fury on Khabib at UFC 229 press conference

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov came face to face for the first time in the run-up to their UFC 229 showdown in an explosive press conference.

The Irishman took swings from his own brand 'Proper No. 12' whiskey as he unleashed expletive-laden tirades at his Russian opponent. 

'The Notorious' delivered his customary verbal onslaught, with much of his energy focused on the bus attack this April, an incident for which he plead guilty and avoided jail time.  

'If you'd have got off that bus you'd be dead now and I'd be in a cell,' he exclaimed. 'When the person you were looking for turned up, you took a s*** on the back of a bus. He would have been in a box and I would have been in a cell.

McGregor intermittently promoted his 'Proper No.12' whiskey during the event in New York

'I come here to smash this guy. Did you not see me outside the bus, I showed you my hands, no weapons, step off the bus, you talk the big game, now you're here, he cowered behind women.'

McGregor dominated the entirety of the press conference in New York, which took place without supporters allowed in, much to his chagrin. 

The former two-weight UFC champion intermittently threw abuse Nurmagomedov's way before breaking off to promote his whiskey. 

For the most part his undefeated foe remained composed in the face of McGregor's showmanship, although at one point he remarked: 'Your grappling is zero, your wrestling is zero.'

McGregor's replied: 'You'll be wrestling my knuckle out of your orbital bone.'

When asked about his motivation to continue fighting in this, the most unforgiving of sports, the Dubliner declared it was for legacy and the pure love of it, a distinct difference to his previous fixation with money and pay-per-view numbers. 

'I came back to shut this man up, a little rat, little weasel, who grows in groups. On the bus he s*** his jocks and that's it, I came back for the love of fighting and war. 

'I began to fight because I loved it, I am set for life. I am here to enjoy this, I'm going to love putting you out your misery and stomping on your head. You just show up and we'll do it the noble way. Pull out and you know what's going to happen back home kid,' the 30-year-old threatened. 

The Irishman was his typical brash, engaging self as he relished taking centre stage

Nurmagomedov was subjected to around half-an-hour of McGregor's verbal onslaught

'I'm going to to put a beating on him and his glass jaw. He bought t-shirts to support my cause, a fanboy.'

'I don't give a f*** what he'll try and do, would you believe he is 26-0, he's fought nobody, I'll pick him apart and bully him in there.' 

McGregor hasn't stepped into the octagon for two years having taken a break for the hugely lucrative boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in August 2017. 

But he seemed to be relishing the return to centre stage and almost beside himself at the prospect of returning to the octagon on October 6 in Las Vegas. On more than one occasion he left his seat and was blocked by Dana White, even offering a glass of whiskey to the Daegestani, who is Muslim.

Many believe Nurmagomedov, who is 26-0 in his professional career, will provide the perfect formula to break down McGregor given his sensational wrestling pedigree.  

Unsurprisingly he gave no credence to that suggestion: 'I have been coached very well, we are ready for war, we are ready for all scenarios, supreme confidence, we're going to go out to enjoy it. I don't have to do this. 

The Daegestani looked relaxed for the most part and allowed McGregor to say his piece

'It was a great boxing match against Mayweather, 30 minutes that fight was, I learned things of course, I was happy  with the experience as a whole, you'll see on October 6.  

'My prediction is domination, his head will bounce off the canvas. I believe  it will take one round, I know a glass jaw when I see one. If you're afraid of a smack, then a smack off me will feel like a double barreled shot gun. I'll shatter him like that glass shattered.'

The stage has been set for this to smash all UFC records as the biggest event in the organisation's history. 

Around half a million viewers tuned in online to watch the press conference alone. On October 6, the world will be watching to see if McGregor can deliver on his violent promises, or his softly spoken foe can spoil the Irish party.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
