KHABIB VS MCGREGOR

-

  Lightweight championship bout at Saturday’s UFC event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Nurmagomedov, the defending champion who is 26-0 in his career, faces McGregor, a former two-division titleholder who is competing in the UFC for the first time since November 2016 and is 9-1 in the promotion, in the main event.


 The crowd here in Vegas is electrified and standing on its feet, as the hype video plays on the screen. The lights are down. Conor is about to make the walk, and it’s been a long while since he made the walk first. He returns as the challenger. The green lit backlights are on, and the fog covers the cage. Conor’s music is playing. The colors of the Irish flag are going around the fascia ring. And now beams of light from his tunnel — yellow, and a searchlight plays over the fans. This is incredible. And “Notorious” kicks in for Biggie’s “Hypnotize.” Here he comes, draped in the Irish flag. What anticipation. He walks into the cage still belching fog, doing his billionaire strut.


And now the lights drop again, this time to a cascade of boos. The music is “Dagestan” by Sabine Kors. Red shoot down from the lighting system, and give the effect of bars around the cage. The Dagestan flag flashes up on the big screens. Now Khabib emerges wearing his famous papakha. This is intense. He looks focused. And as the darkness settles over McGregor, he shadow boxes. The lights come up and Nurmagomedov is in the cage. It’s about to go down. The feel of this fight is that of the biggest of its kind. Security is preventing McGregor from going anywhere near Khabib’s side during introductions. McGregor nonetheless goes to the center and blows a kiss. Boos rain down on Khabib during his. The factions are asked to leave the octagon, and we’re about ready. They dance and do not touch gloves after instructions. The scene is mad.stands! The crowd roars. He is getting up, but he has the Dagestan fighter dragging at his waist. One ounce of promise is all this crowd craves. The roar of song is breaking out. The Irish are trying to will their man! But McGregor remains posted on fence at the horn. MMA Fighting scores R2 for Nurmagomedov, 10-8 (20-17 overall)


Round 3: Conor stalks forward and lands a nice shot, now a left that wobbled Khabib back. Crowd loved that. McGregor is winded, but he is coming forward. The song breaks out again. A left hand but not clean from Conor. Khabib rolls around, and throws a leg kick — and now initiates an exchange. He tries for a take down, but is prevented. They are on fence, and Khabib lands a punch. He lowers down and he is trying to take McGregor down again theree. So far McGregor fending, and now he’s landing. And uppercut, and another left — a head kick. Not clean. McGregor has taken some short shots, too. But he has to gamble. The lid would come off the building if he were to drop Khabib. a nice right from McGregor, but he’s dog tired. The fight goes to the fence, as Nurmagomedov does what he does — he is dragging the Irishman down again, laying his bulk on him. McGregor standing though. Won’t budge. Song breaks out. Nurmagomedov has a conversation with Dean at the end. That might have been McGregor’s round. MMA Fighting scores R3 for McGregor, 10-9 (29-27)Round 4: Conor stalks forward, waving his right hand. And now he lands a left that thrills the crowd. Khabib lands a right hand of his own, and that gave Conor pause. Khabib not afraid to wing that right hand, and he has been when standing. Crowd chants “CONOR,” as Khabib lowers his head and shoots for the takedown. That took the air out of the room, at least momentarily. McGregor back to a knee on fence, but he’s expending a lot of energy in preventive measures here, a frustration that we knew might be the case. Now Khabib in full mount, as McGregor is on his side. McGregor’s corner can only watch as their man is being wrangled with an eternity of time remaining on the clock — half the round to go. A series of left hands from Nurmagomedov, and now he gets the rear-naked choke...and there comes the tap. It’s over. Wow. Pandemonium breaks out...


Official result: Khabib Nurmagomedov def. Conor McGregor via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:03 of R4
