Rockhold added that he believes that Nurmagomedov will prevail against McGregor when the two meet in the Octagon and that the Dubliner will not be able to cope with his wrestling and grappling skills."I watched a bit of it on my drive to practice.

“We all know Khabib can do his thing," Rockhold said of his AKA teammate.
"He’s 26-0 now. I mean, that’s an unheard of thing. The guy’s never lost. Conor’s lost multiple times. Khabib is dangerous. Anybody can lose, but we’ll see what happens.“If Khabib gets a hold of him, it’s a different world. You can’t tussle with somebody who’s grappled like that his whole life.
