Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor
THE greatest fight of all time in the history of UFC went down 4 years ago today. Khabib Nurmagomedov fought his biggest rival Conor McGregor in an iconic grudge fight!
There is a high chance that you would’ve been introduced to the UFC after this iconic bout. The MMA world had not seen a fight of such magnitude! Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor is still the greatest bout in MMA to date. It has been four years since this iconic fight and there are very few fights that managed to captivate the entire world like this one.
The seed for this fight was placed way before the actual bout was booked. McGregor and Nurmagomedov actually hated each other leading up to this fight. “The Eagle” took on “The Notorious One” in a five-round main event title fight at UFC 229 and served a slice of humble pie (the whole pie if we’re being honest) to the Irish superstar.
Khabib won the fight via submission in the fourth round to rattle the entire world! Over 2.4 million pay-per-view buys for this iconic card and no other PPV card has come close in the history of UFC. MMA fans have always been die-hard and this fight truly split the MMA world in half. You were either Team Khabib or Team Conor and there was no middle ground.

4 years ago today, THE most historic night in MMA history. Khabib destroyed and humiliated McGregor. Fair to say the Irishman has not, and will not get over the humiliation bestowed upon him that night. ? #UFC229 pic.twitter.com/h6FRlBD8T7

Man time flies, I’ll never forget the buzz around the whole thing, the bus incident leading to the surprise announcement of the fight during summer, the pressers and all the chaos when the fight ended, infamous but unforgettable night for the sport
