CONOR McGREGOR has warned fierce rival Khabib Nurmagomedov that he will fight like an “Irish gorilla” ahead of their Las Vegas showdown on Saturday.
The Notorious’ warning shot came after Khabib’s father revealed his son used to wrestle a bear when he was a child.
Abdulmanap said it was a test of his son’s character to wrestle the Dagestani bear and stand him in good stead to become a world star.
He told ToFight.Ru: “Firstly, a child always wants his father to see what his son is capable of.
“It is a pity that there was nothing more interesting when he was younger. In the end, this was a test of character more than exercise.”
But McGregor, who heads into the bout with 21 wins in 24 fights, has laughed off talk of Khabib’s bear scrap and says wait until he’s faced an Irish gorilla.
Speaking on the Conan show, he said: “He may have wrestled Dagestani bears but he has never wrestled a Irish gorilla and that’s what he’s about to face on Saturday night.
“I believe he’s slow, he’s flat footed, his striking is very average and I look to expose that.
“I believe he has many weaknesses in his game, in the Dagestan region they specialise in wrestling.
“The kid wrestled bears when he was a baby, it’s part of their culture so I am under no illusion that he is a skilled wrestler.

“Fighting in the whole picture there are many facets to fighting, a lot more than just one single discipline.”
Khabib, 30, is the reigning lightweight champion, and goes into the fight as the big favourite – something not usual for a fight involving McGregor.

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.”
