UFC 229: McGregor vs. Khabib Schedule, Start Time

The UFC 229 lightweight bout between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to start around 10 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 6.

The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where McGregor (21-3) was defeated by Floyd Mayweather last August. The Irishman will be returning to the Octagon for the first time in two years when he takes on Nurmagomedov, the undefeated defending lightweight champion.

Nurmagomedov enters Saturday's fight with the longest undefeated streak in MMA history at 26 wins. The two will go head-to-head for the first time since McGregor was arrested for throwing objects at Nurmagomedov's bus in Brooklyn last April.
