Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor will finally get a chance to set the record straight in the Octagon. During its 25th anniversary press conference, the UFC announced the title fight will take place at UFC 229, on October 6.
The fight has had quite a lot of anticipation built up behind it after Conor McGregor attacked a bus during UFC 223 fight week, as McGregor seemingly sought to get after Nurmagomedov (who was inside the bus at the time) following an earlier altercation with his good friend and teammate Artem Lobov.
Still undefeated, lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0) will look for his eleventh straight Octagon win.
