UFC free fight: Khabib Nurmagomedov makes Conor McGregor tap out in heated title fight

One of the biggest fights in UFC history can now be watched in its entirety for free on YouTube.

Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov headlined UFC 229 on Oct. 6, 2018. Still to this date, it’s the most-purchased pay-per-view in promotion history, with a reported buy rate of 2.4 million.

The fight was long-built with McGregor and Nurmagomedov engaged in one of the most vicious and ruthless rivalries in promotion history.

The fight was initially competitive, but Nurmagomedov broke away with the momentum after he rocked McGregor with a big overhand right. From there, grappling became the name of the game.

Nurmagomedov took down and controlled McGregor for much of the fight. As he landed ground-and-pound punches, Nurmagomedov barked at McGregor.

At 3:03 of Round 4, Nurmagomedov finished the fight. McGregor tapped due to a neck crank submission before Nurmagomedov jumped out of the cage and incited a brawl between the two teams.
