UFC 229 ended with a black eye for the sport with a brawl after Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor. Nurmagomedov (27-0) was able to defend his 155-pound championship by submitting McGregor (21-4) at 3:03 of the fourth round. What happened afterwards is detailed here, and this fiasco starts to make the UFC look more like the WWE. How will Dana White fix this mess?
Tag: Conor McGregor
The battle between MMA darling Conor McGregor and 40-year-old boxing icon Floyd Mayweather ended as many expected, with Conor succumbing to the grueling demands of boxing which requires much more stamina than standard MMA fights.
Still, Conor started out strong, and gave hope to the many bettors who bet the underdog. This probably made many in Vegas sportsbooks nervous as a McGregor win would have been a disaster, but reality set in the Floyd started to engage more with every round.
Will Conor McGregor ever fight Floyd Mayweather? Dana White explains in the interview above that this will only happen if Mayweather goes through him.
