One of the biggest weeks in MMA history is upon us. UFC 229 features a highly anticipated main event between lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, who is returning to the Octagon for the first time in nearly two years. The co-main event sees Tony Ferguson take on Anthony Pettis, and both men are effectively backup plans in case something happens to one of the main event fighters.
Rounding out the main card are light heavyweights Ovince Saint Preux and Dominick Reyes, as Reyes continues to climb up the ladder of 205. Heavyweight knockout artist Derrick Lewis returns against the dangerous and highly technical Alexander Volkov.
