'I'm coming to put a hole in this man's skull and that's what I'm going to do' - Conor McGregor to Khabib Nurmagomedov

'I don't really care about what he's thinking, I'm coming to put a hole in this man's skull and that's what I'm going to do. F*** peace, there will never be peace here. I've always said you aim for peace and if you can't get peace, aim between the eyes. This is never over, never ever, ever over,' roared Conor McGregor.

When Khabib Nurmagomedov was asked if he'd shake the Irishman's hand after their fight at UFC 229 on Saturday night, he replied: 'No way, Inshallah I will finish this guy.'

You be forgiven for thinking the final press conference before this weekend's lightweight showdown was another dramatic episode the long-running feud between the Irish challenger and Russian champion.
