UFC 229 results: Khabib Nurmagomedov beats Conor McGregor, sparks post-fight melee

Khabib Nurmagomedov scored an incredible victory in what many considered the biggest fight in the history of mixed martial arts, and then immediately marred what should have been his crowning moment.

The UFC lightweight champion Nurmagomedov finished the sport’s biggest star, Conor McGregor, retaining his belt via submission at 3:03 of the fourth round of his UFC 229 main event on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

But a wild scene broke out after the fight, in which Nurmagomedov jumped out of the cage and attacked McGregor teammate Dillon Danis.
