Khabib Walks Off Stage After Conor McGregor Arrives Late To UFC 229 Press Conference

Khabib Nurmagomedov has taken part in another press conference in Las Vegas tonight, and this time it was open to the public.

Do not scratch your eyes. Conor McGregor eventually decided to turn up to the pre-fight conference fashionably late, and rather than wait, Khabib was not happy in the slightest and walked out after 15 minutes.

"I don't need [to] wait for nobody." he said, before holding up the belt and walking off.

The pair gave us a taste of their bitter rivalry in last week's press conference, with the media getting their chance to ask questions, but this was a totally different ball game.

Conor was predictably late to the press conference, with Khabib clearly frustrated at his lack of punctuality.

Here are some of the quotes from the presser:
