Khabib Nurmagomedov retained his lightweight title by forcing Conor McGregor to tap out at the highly anticipated UFC 229 on Saturday night. But he then jumped out of the Octagon and a melee ensued.
Nurmagomedov struck early, locking McGregor up so he couldn't escape and fight back with his signature style.
The second round was all Nurmagomedov who struck McGregor blow after blow.
In the third round, both appeared fatigued. McGregor was able to stay on his feet most of the round, and both traded punches.
The two went on to the fourth round, where Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor by submission.
