Khabib Nurmagomedov made Conor McGregor walk the plank before a crowd of more than 20,000 onlookers deep in the Mojave Desert.
The indomitable Russian retained the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title and logged perhaps the most significant victory of his career when he submitted McGregor with a neck crank in the fourth round of their UFC 229 main event on Oct. 6, 2018 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The end came 3:03 into Round 4.
Nurmagomedov overwhelmed the loose-lipped Irishman with determined takedowns, focused ground-and-pound and suffocating positional control.
