The UFC lightweight champion was due to go face-to-face with Conor McGregor at the Park Theater in Las Vegas ahead of their showdown on Sunday.
However, ‘The Notorious’ didn’t turn up on time, much to the frustration of the Russian, who was clearly frustrated
And 15 minutes after arriving on time for the event, a fuming Nurmagomedov got out of his seat and stormed out of the venue.
Prior to his abrupt exit, ‘The Eagle’ said: “I have a schedule. 3pm I am here. I have to make weight and worry about myself.
“Why do I think about him. If somebody is late this is not my problem.

McGregor finally appeared 30 minutes after the press conference was scheduled to get underway and was quick to mock the Dagestan native’s early departure.
“He should’ve stayed put,” he said. “He doesn’t want to be around me and these people. He is petrified.”
Ireland’s first UFC belt holder turned his attention to Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz, who he labelled a ‘terrorist snitch’ in the first pre-fight presser.
“You should never take information from an informant. Khabib’s manager is a f***king snitch, terrorist rat,” he said when pressed on Nurmagomedov’s comments on his grandfather after Wednesday’s open workouts.
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion then ruled out the possibility of quashing his beef with Nurmagomedov after their grudge match, saying: “F**k peace. There will never be peace here.
“I always say you should aim for peace. But if you can’t aim for peace, aim between the eyes and that’s it.
“I’m going to aim right between the man’s eyes. And this is never over Never, ever, ever over.”
