The UFC released the audio captured by microphones around the octagon during the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov e Conor McGregor at UFC 229, held in October 2018. Without the interference of narrators or commentators, the recordings reveal an intense and tension-filled dialogue between the Russian, his coaches and the Irishman himself. The duel was valid for the lightweight belt (up to 70,3kg).

In the heat of the fight, after taking down and dominating McGregor in the first round, Khabib says: “What happened? Let's talk now. Let's talk". The response comes from the Russian's corners, encouraging the submission: “Kill him! Break your arm! Break your arm! Smash!".
