UFC 229 has come and gone, but the effect of the event on the sport isn’t going anywhere. When Conor McGregor returned to the octagon, attempting to regain his lightweight title, a record number of fans watched. Things didn’t go his way, as he was dominated by the undefeated Dagestani champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
We all know what happened after the fight; the brawl that will be talked about forever. McGregor wants an immediate rematch, a fight he shouldn’t get. If it wasn’t for the brawl after the fight, there would be no talks of a rematch.
