Last Friday night in Las Vegas, the UFC has staged a press conference for the upcoming UFC 249 event in Brooklyn which of course was attended by the two fighter who will headline it.
Both had some fiery and spicy words for one another but the most interesting part of the press conference was the face-off. With Khabib keeping his cool throughout the entire word war with Tony, he finally snapped at the end game.
