They will be talking about the fight -- and its unfortunate aftermath -- for years to come.
Khabib Nurmagomedov retained the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight crown, as he submitted Conor McGregor with a neck crank in the fourth round of their UFC 229 headliner on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor tapped 3:03 into Round 4, failing to reclaim the throne at 155 pounds in his first appearance inside the Octagon in nearly two years.
As many expected, Nurmagomedov overtook the Irishman with dogged takedowns, ferocious ground-and-pound and stifling positional control.
