UFC 229: Nurmagomedov Vs. McGregor
The former 2 division champion #1 Ranking Conor McGregor is ready to resume his fighting career as he will face off against lightweight (c) Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in Las Vegas on Oct. 6.
The UFC announced the fight during a special press conference on Friday in Los Angeles. While neither fighter was in attendance, UFC president Dana White celebrated the fact that the battle was finally done that will see McGregor make his return to the Octagon after last competing in November 2016.
For McGregor, this will be his first fight in the UFC in nearly 2 years after spending most of 2017 focused on his boxing match against Floyd Mayweather.
Now the biggest draw in the History of the UFC is back with hopes of reclaiming the title he never lost after the promotion stripped him of the lightweight belt earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Nurmagomedov will attempt to keep his undefeated record in place in his first Title defense as he looks to settle the score with McGregor once and for all after months of heated trash talk between the 2 fighters.
UFC 229 goes down on Oct. 6 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
(c)Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0-0) Vs. Conor McGregor (21-3-0) at 155 Lbs.
