00:00Lot of talking though not coming from that Nurmagomedov coming from the one we you know

00:07Knows the former UFC champion Habib, of course trains him and is a big part of everything

00:11He does you're talking trash there on Paul Hughes saying he's not even on his level

00:16I know it's not about trash talking. It's just that's just the facts

00:19He doesn't live up to him that this is not a good enough opponent

00:23And you know, some people could agree with that given that we haven't seen much of Hughes in

00:30The PFL or Bellator or anything before that he had, you know

00:34Just two fights under this organization before we had, you know, this now title shot that he gets he had a great performance

00:40Of course on that pay-per-view card, but that was only the second time

00:43We had seen him elevated to this level of competition. Now, he's gonna go right to the champion

00:48He tends to disagree as he has been out there and doing his thing

00:52Of course a guy who loves to talk so he has no problem promoting the fight as well

00:57He's saying that

00:59on the path of all of Ireland

01:01He's gonna put Nurmagomedov to sleep because of course if you read the full quote there from Habib

01:05It was that

01:07Dagestani fighters are just better than Irish fighters, too

01:09You know, he even said in a video that they had separate from that and he's talking about listen

01:13You've had basically to him

01:15Two fighters from Ireland in MMA that have mattered this guy and Connor like who else has ever come out of there now

01:20There have been more that is of course very short-sighted to just say those are the only ones from the whole island

01:25I'll of Ireland that have really mattered but

01:28Both them out there to represent their country in this ballot

01:32They've even built it of course as Dagestan versus Ireland too. So we will see how this goes for these guys

01:37It should be a great fight

01:39But big part of fighting is promoting it and they of course are having no problem doing that going back and forth talking to trash

01:46hyping it up and

01:47He was not having a problem going out a little world tour to to also show what's going on and get people pumped for

01:53That fight as we saw him and in the US over the last couple weeks there

01:57You see him there with KP Christopher zing is at the Celtics game

02:02Sharing jerseys there. I don't know if future Jersey will fit Chris

02:05I presume is obviously with the mountain that that man is but still

02:08Showing some love there at the Boston Garden for the great Irish fighter there promoting his fight

02:14We also saw him in a bar for in a perfect Guinness and go check that out on the PFL social media as well

02:20And then I think he even stopped by New York there and went on a real Hawaiian show

02:25pumping things up pumping up the fight talking about what he has done to get ready for this and all the work he has

02:29Done to get to this point should be a great card. We're looking forward to that coming up later this month
