UFC 229 Preview: Countdown to McGregor vs. Khabib

#3. Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov:

UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor Press Conference

A fight that has seen more drama than anyone expected, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov are finally going to meet in the middle of the Octagon.

The build-up to this particular fight has been insane, making UFC 229 seem like a one-fight card despite having so many other good bouts. With the fan expectation and reaction seen from the fight, it is set to be the biggest ever UFC bout of all time, even crossing possibly, the Mayweather and McGregor boxing match of last year.

The two of them have held nothing back when it comes to throwing barbs at each other, and even the usually quiet Khabib could not help but retort to some of the jousts of his opponents.

From metal dollies and broken bus windows, to Proper 12 whisky, from wrestling and ground game, to a striking offence, and finally from the quiet dignified silence to the insults thrown by a man who has never kept quiet in his life, the two fighters have been through everything going into this fight.

Now, in five rounds of five minutes each, or less, one will emerge with all the bragging rights.

Who will be the UFC Lightweight Champion after tonight's fight? Tune in, to find out.
