Conor McGregor mocked by Khabib Nurmagomedov as Russian uses rival's famous phrase against him

Khabib Nurmagomedov has borrowed Conor McGregor's famous "here to take over" phrase to he mock the Dubliner.

The Notorious made his declaration in 2014 following his first-round win over Diego Brandao as he and his countrymen completed a clean sweep in Dublin. Reflecting on his win, he said: "He would have to be something special to come over here in my hometown and take this away form me. There is not a man alive who can come on this soil and beat me.

"My teammates went 3-0 tonight... I fed off of that. It was a clean sweep for the Irish. I said it last year, we're not here just to take part, we're here to take over." McGregor went on to win first the featherweight and then the lightweight crowns but has won only one of his last four fights in the cage, reports The Mirror.
