UFC 229 on Saturday, Oct. 6 featured a main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor for the UFC lightweight championship at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. There was plenty of intense build-up to the fight and bad blood between the two fighters, but no one could have been prepared for the mayhem that would break out after the fight was over.
In the fourth round of their title fight, Nurmagomedov secured a rear-naked submission victory to retain his belt. Then, all hell broke loose as Nurmagomedov jumped out of the cage.
Nurmagomedov instantly attacked McGregor teammate Dillon Danis, while two of Khabib’s teammates jumped in the cage and jumped McGregor. The insanity to cap off the night left a black mark on what was otherwise a thrilling and exciting event from start to finish.
