UFC 229 is an evening few who witnessed will ever forget. Khabib Nurmagomedov ’s UFC lightweight title defense against Conor McGregor at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Oct. 6, 2018 was the most-purchased UFC pay-per-view of all-time, with a reported buy rate of 2.4 million. The gate of nearly $17.2M was the highest ever for an MMA bout in Nevada. And while the well-documented grudge between the two built up epic interest in the bout, when they got into the cage, well, McGregor looked like a fighter who had not competed in an MMA matchup in nearly two years.
