Khabib thinks McGregor curses too much: 'Think about the young generation'

Khabib Nurmagomedov took issue with Conor McGregor's use of foul language during their UFC 229 press conference.

The pair met Thursday afternoon at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to promote their Oct. 6 showdown, during which McGregor referred to the UFC lightweight champion as a "fanboy b---h" and a "backwards c--t."

"This is what I don't like, when too (many) people (are) cursing," Nurmagomedov told TMZ Sports. "I cannot (condone) cursing because too many young guys follow us, follow him, follow me, and I don't want to be a bad example for (the) young generation. ... Of course, you try to promote this fight and make money, but (at the) end of the day, you have to think about the young generation."

He added that he wants "to be a good (role) model" and intends to "smash" McGregor when they face off next month.
