Lost amidst the bedlam that erupted following the main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor was the fact that UFC 229 was an exceptionally awesome card. From Derrick Lewis’ amazing come-from-behind KO to the 10 minutes of delightful chaos between Tony Ferguson and Anthony Pettis, some of the best action in recent memory took place last night. That isn’t even mentioning the greatest post-fight speech ever from Lewis. Hell, the actual fight between Khabib and McGregor was a lot of fun too.
If we’re being honest, it’s not like the UFC hated the brawl that broke out either.
