McGregor had previously targeted Abdelaziz during a UFC 299 promotional event last month in NY, yelling, "You terrorist snitch!" at the Egypt native.
Former two division champion Conor Mcgregor is a well known knockout artist and has a history of starching his opponents inside the Octagon. Let us get to the breakdown of UFC 229, set for Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas: Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0) vs. I always say you should aim for peace, but if you can't aim for peace, aim between the eyes.
"When a guy makes 100million USA dollars you don't know whether he's ever going to fight again", White said. "The traffic is a little heavy".
The animosity between the pair memorably escalated in April when McGregor threw a hand truck at a bus carrying several UFC fighters, including Nurmagomedov, who won the vacant lightweight title just a couple of days later.
Conor McGregor has been part of the UFC for five years, and its biggest star for at least three.
Nurmagomedov grabbed the microphone even before White got on stage and said, "I don't wait for anyone".
"It's good to be back doing what I love to do, competing in front of my fans", McGregor said this week. "I have to make weight". I'm going to aim right between that man's eyes and this is never over. "I don't give a f*** about anything - any wrestling, any technique, any anything". These things happen. I did not plan this.
White added: "All the numbers are tracking higher than Mayweather-McGregor and this fight is a global fight, the whole world will be literally watching this fight".
"I have to be careful with him", Nurmagomedov said. We saw the staredown in NY (at last month's press conference), I want to see the staredown (on Friday). "He has to kill me to stop me". We're all facing - I'm sure all the Irish people here - are facing all this immigration stuff on the way over (to America). and then you've got this man with such a insane background. and he's walking around free.
"Honestly for me, this is more than defending a title, more than a fight for the title, more than a main event, for me it's personal, honestly it's personal", Nurmagomedov said.
"All the time, he gets exhausted, he gives up", Nurmagomedov said.
Khabib is the favourite at [1.63] at the time of writing but if you are planning on having a bet, he is likely to drift as the contest approaches with recreational punters betting on McGregor on the back of Media Day on Wednesday and the Weigh-In on Friday.
"F-k peace. There will never be peace here". If this fight was taking place shortly after UFC 205, I would favor McGregor.
That's the lowest you can go?
