Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor
UFC Lightweight Championship
What Happened?
Khabib dominated exactly as you’d expect, almost finishing Conor in the second. He took off the third then got the neck crank tap in the 4th. Then crazy happened.
THE MUSLIMS RAN WILD AND STARTED A RIOT AND JUMPED CONOR FROM BEHIND.
Khabib darted from the cage and went after Dillon Danis, for whatever reason. As that happened, one of Khabib’s buddies sucker punched Conor. Pure madness. Drinks flying everywhere. Boos. Utter chaos.

Should You Watch?
Yes. Oh. My. Yes. Dana wouldn’t put the belt on Khabib for fear of the crowd’s reaction.
Tony Ferguson vs. Anthony Pettis
Not the UFC Lightweight Championship
What Happened?
This was amazing; a total war. Back and forth, blood gargling, until Pettis broke his hand and his corner stopped it.
Ferguson brought to tears after earning the win. What a moment. #UFC229 pic.twitter.com/b9zSbtyQih

Should You Watch?
Hell Yeah. If you could go back in time, that is. In the moment, this was fun because of the suspense. If you remove that variable? It might be boring. That finish though…
