Ask anyone what the UFC 229 lightweight title fight between champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor comes down to, and you’re likely to get the same answer every time: Nurmagomedov’s wrestling vs. McGregor’s striking. More specifically, can Nurmagomedov (26-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) avoid McGregor’s (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) dangerous left hand as he tries to take him down? UFC lightweight contender Kevin Lee doesn’t it happening. “I think Conor’s probably going to sleep him,” Lee said during an appearance on MMAjunkie Radio.
