Khabib well and truly lost his cool. Ferguson didn't seem too bothered by that, mind.

He actually looked rather proud that he'd managed to bait his rival into displaying such anger.

The two traded insults throughout the evening.

Khabib constantly referred to Ferguson as 'sunglasses' and claimed that he would 'eat him' in a street fight.

Khabib also called Ferguson a 'liar', to which the American celebrated getting under his skin.

Ferguson also taunted Khabib's weight, saying he was 'fat' and the same size as Daniel Cormier.

Khabib called Ferguson 'stupid' but remained respectful about his skill as a fighter.

"Why people don't like [Ferguson], it's because he's a stupid guy," he said, per MMA fighting. "Nobody understands him, honestly, he looks stupid, that's why nobody likes him. But he's a very good fighter and I respect his skill, that's why he's here."

We can't until the two get in the ring together next month.
