This past weekend the fight happened, and the fight after the fight. Probably the most talked about thing since Trump being sworn in as president. Conor Mcgregor made $3 million dollars and Khabib Nurmagomedov (pronounce that as you will) taking home $2 million dollars, well not yet: his purse is being withheld by the Nevada Sports Committee.
Are you ready to Rumbleeee!
The McGregor and Nurmagomedov fight was actually really enteraining. Minus the stuff after but just focusing on the actual fight. It was entertaining, especially since Khabib was dominating the whole time; all the smack Conor was talking before the actual fight. Many say that Conor crossed the line by talking about Khabib’s father, religion and the rest of his family. Khabib stayed as humble as possible throughout the conference and limited his words. To sum it up a quotation from Dana White "It was dark, man. It was the darkest press conference I've ever been a part of. Conor McGregor is the master of mental warfare.". Maybe Conor is only a master at mental warfare as Khabib remains undefeated and Conor adding a fourth loss to his list. Khabib used his ground game to his advantage as he spent most of the fight down there, but the one that really did it was when Khabib got Conor with a jab to his jaw that sent “The Notorious MMA” into shock and stumbled down to his butt. This is when Khabib took over by using his techniques to tire Conor out and with 3:03 remaining in the fourth round Khabib put Conor in a choke and won by submission. Oh the joy of seeing Connor's face as red as a fire truck eating his words in his kitchen.
The Fight after the Fight:
This is what the world is really talking about. Right after Conor tapped the Russian champion stepped away from McGregor and immediately pointed at the Irishman’s corner, shouting and then proceeding to throw his mouthpiece. It was the moment you knew sh*t was gonna hit the fan when Khabib scaled the fence like a lizard and threw himself at McGregor's coach. All hell broke loose as Khabib tried attacking McGregor’s coach and two men apparently from Nurmagomedov entourage blindsiding Conor as he was still dazed from the fight but back on his feet. Jesus. Is all that can be said after watching this all unfold. Finally security and Metro police get everyone separated and escorted the fighters back to their dressing rooms with the exception of beer showers being predicted in the forecast. After all of this unfolding and still being under investigation, all I can say is rematch-here-we-go. PS this is why Khabib’s money (purse) is being withheld.
