UFC 229: Khabib vs. McGregor from Las Vegas is being billed as the biggest fight in UFC history.
It just may be, as the anticipated October 6 fight is predicted to potentially bring in two million buys. The bout is getting an insane amount of heat due to the heated backstory between the two elite lightweights. McGregor was arrested on assault charges for attack Khabib’s bus before April’s UFC 223. “The Notorious” reached a plea deal in a Brooklyn courtroom last month.
The fight was soon announced thereafter, setting the stage for the biggest return in UFC history. McGregor has been out of action for nearly two years. He was stripped of the lightweight title due to inactivity and will attempt to regain the belt he never lost.
The MMA world is buzzing with anticipation. The UFC released the official event poster to get the hype rolling even more today. Check it out here:

UFC President Dana White holds Conor McGregor in very high regard.
He holds him in such high regard that he considers the Irishman his version of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. White was recently part of a FOX News feature in which he discussed “The Notorious.”
White said that immediately after having dinner with McGregor for the first time several years ago, he knew the Irishman would become a star (quotes via MMA Mania):
“He’s my [Muhammad] Ali. He’s my [Mike] Tyson,” White said. “He burst onto the scene and I knew the minute I sat down and had dinner with him that this kid was going to be a star.
“I didn’t know if he’d be able to fight and I didn’t know if he’d be able to win a title, but I knew he was going to be a star.”
White has mentioned McGregor in the same breathe as Ali and Tyson before. Back in 2015 White mentioned McGregor’s gift of gab reminded him of the former heavyweight champion:
”He is the greatest mental warfare fighter I have ever met,” he said. “Ever. The best. He doesn’t just **** with the guys he’s going to fight. He fucks with everybody.
“I know it’s sacrilege to compare anybody to Muhammad Ali in anything in the fight business. You don’t ever want to be comparing people to Muhammad Ali, but he’s the only one who comes to mind when it comes to the mental warfare that Conor wages.”
As for McGregor’s Octagon future, his return is set. McGregor will challenge Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight championship. The action goes down on October 6th in the main event of UFC 229 on pay-per-view (PPV) from Las Vegas, Nevada.
McGregor hasn’t fought in the UFC in nearly two years. In his absence he has been stripped of two UFC titles – featherweight and lightweight. He’ll attempt to once again reign as the top dog at 155 pounds.

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor already has quite the backstory.
The post 10 Biggest Talking Points Of The Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Feud appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
MMA fans all around the world are eagerly awaiting the fight of the year between Conor McGregor and lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in Las Vegas on October 6, 2018.
Because of that, now seems like the perfect time to look back at the long-running feud between the two that’s led to this showdown being declared the biggest fight in UFC history.
Enjoy.
While it’s long since been forgotten about, in the early days of McGregor’s rise to stardom in the UFC’s featherweight division, he and Nurmagomedov appeared to have a cordial relationship. They even took a picture together backstage after one of the Irishman’s victories in 2014.
In fact, at one stage McGregor even rightly suggested that Nurmagomedov would one day become the champion of the 155-pound division.
However, McGregor defeated Jose Aldo to win the 145-pound title the following year and began to signal an interest in lightweight. Nurmagomedov was quick to warn him that would be a bad idea based on his presence.
“I think Conor is a good fighter but if he thinks he can come to the lightweight division and have a chance of beating me he is delusional,” Nurmagomedov told arabsmma.com.
“I’m the worst match-up for him in the UFC. This is why he is trying to move up and fight RDA [Rafael dos Anjos] now. He wants to avoid fighting me. If he comes to lightweight and fights me I will give him a great welcome.”
“Four minutes, I smash him – no problem.” Nurmagomedov declared in a seperate interview.
