Khabib Nurmagomedov decided to begin the final UFC 229 press conference despite Conor McGregor running late.
He fielded questions for roughly 15 minutes and was offended by McGregor's absence. The UFC lightweight champion then decided he'd had enough and left the press conference.
"Fifteen minutes, 15 minutes I am here, this guy didn't come," Nurmagomedov said. "This is big disrespect. Thank you so much. Tomorrow, 9 a.m., I am going to show you my weight. See you tomorrow, guys. Have a good night."
McGregor showed up minutes later, and took questions, along with UFC president Dana White, without Nurmagomedov.
