Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor engaged in one of the most intense and memorable rivalries in UFC history. The inflammatory remarks leading up to the fight and the post-fight actions by 'The Eagle' ensured that it remains one of the most notorious feuds in the UFC.

Five years ago today, the UFC bore witness to a monumental event in its storied history. Nurmagomedov and McGregor clashed in a headline-grabbing showdown at UFC 229, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following his victory, which saw 'The Notorious' tapping out to a rear-naked choke in the fourth round, the 35-year-old Dagestani fighter charged towards McGregor's corner. He engaged in a heated exchange with members of McGregor's team, with a particular focus on Dillon Danis. In a dramatic turn of events, Khabib Nurmagomedov leaped over the cage and engaged in a physical altercation with McGregor's entourage.
