Polarizing UFC superstar and former lightweight champ Conor McGregor makes his inaugural reunite to the Octagon when he takes on reigning Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in what will undoubtedly be the biggest MMA showdown of this year.
Khabib Nurmagomedov v Conor McGregor
When: Saturday, October 6th, 2018.
Where: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada
TV: PPV
Live Stream: UFC Fight Pass
UFC 229 — Lightweight Championship
Conor McGregor +135
Khabib Nurmagomedov -165
30-year-old Conor McGregor (21-3) stands 5’9″ with a 74-inch reach. The native of Ireland has not fought at the Octagon since beating Eddie Alvarez via TKO (punches) in the second round at UFC 205 way back in November of 2016. That triumph has been preceded by a vast majority decision win over Nate Diaz in UFC 202 at August of 2016 and that bout was a rematch after Diaz stunned McGregor with a second round rear-naked choke at UFC 196 at March of 2016.
30-year-old Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0) stands 5’10” with a 70-inch reach. The Russian is unbeaten in his profession and comes into this name fight a unanimous decision win over Al Iaquinta at UFC 223 in April. I won’t spill the beans a lot by creating a pick here, but I will say, Conor McGregor is in trouble. He has been out of action for a couple of years and he is fighting arguably the best fighter on Earth. I smell a entry loss coming for the loud-mouthed former champ. Alright, so I spilled the beans. So what!
The only way we’ll know is on October 6th. In conclusion, keep in mind open for whatever since anything could happen in this mad world of sports. You might just get that winning ticket you’ve been searching for.
