Khabib Nurmagomedov means business.

The UFC lightweight champion has threatened to change Conor McGregor's face in a chilling message ahead of UFC 229 on October 6th.

Nurmagomedov and McGregor traded verbal jabs last week in New York at a fiery pre-fight press conference.

McGregor, who was on typically hilarious form, hollered insult after insult whilst promoting the sh*t out of his whiskey; Proper No. Twelve.

But Nurmagomedov doesn't care about McGregor's whiskey range.

"This guy come to promote his whiskey, but we come to change his face," he said.

The pair of lightweights also squared-off and, naturally, it was very intense.

Nurmagomedov and McGregor went head-to-head with the Irishman saying he's a 'dead man' before ranting at Ali Abdelaziz who manages the Russian phenom.

"Shut your mouth, Ali Abdelaziz," McGregor angrily shouted.

"You terrorist snitch! I know a lot about you as well, you mad man. I know a lot about you as well! You keep your mouth shut kid!

"How's Noah? How's Noah? Yeah, shut your mouth! Never speak about me, ever in your life! Watch yourself around me, 'cause you'll be out of here quick."

Noah is the son Ali abandoned to pursue a career as an informant for the New York Police Department.

McGregor also called Nurmagomedov out for his links to Russian ruler Ziyavudin Magomedov and Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov, barely allowing his adversary to get a word in on his birthday.

Meticulous inside the cage and out. 'The Notorious' not just studying his opponent but also his opponents entourage.

Nurmagomedov and McGregor will renew hostilities next week during fight week.
