UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has sensationally defended his belt and undefeated record with an emphatic win over Irish MMA superstar Conor McGregor at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Khabib dominated from start to finish against McGregor and finished the fight with a rear naked choke after a long period of grappling that forced McGregor to tap.
Dagestan native Khabib now moves his impressive undefeated streak to 27-0, while McGregor is set back to 21-4 after failing to win back the lightweight title he won back in 2016 before taking a two-year absence from the octagon.
Khabib will now most likely face Tony Ferguson in his next bout, who was the winner of the co-main event against Anthony Pettis.
