#1 UFC 229: Khabib vs. McGregor
We have seen a lot of times in the past that the UFC advertising a show as one of the greatest ever does not really ensure incredible activity inside the Octagon. UFC 200, for example, was a tremendous disillusionment in execution, while UFC 182 – the primary gathering between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier – was a card loaded with stinkers.
UFC 229 was pushed as the greatest show ever – truly – because of its headliner of Khabib Nurmagomedov safeguarding the Lightweight title against Conor McGregor, yet a vigorous undercard highlighting the absolute best prospects and contenders in the advancement implied this was undeniably in excess of a one-battle bargain.

Also, fortunately, basically the majority of the battles conveyed enormously. Felice Herrig versus Michelle Waterson was a fairly moderate opener, yet on a lesser show, it would’ve been one of the better battles on the card. However, what pursued was astounding. Right off the bat, Derrick Lewis pulled off one of the record-breaking extraordinary UFC rebounds – thumping out Alexander Volkov in the wake of being pummeled for all intents and purposes the whole 15-minute battle. It was sufficient to acquire him a Heavyweight title shot multi month later.
Next, Dominick Reyes – apparently the most sweltering prospect in the Light-Heavyweight division – satisfied that charging by picking Ovince St. Preux separated more than three adjusts and was looted of a TKO win by some poor refereeing – he needed to make due with a choice triumph.

The best was yet to come, however; Tony Ferguson and Anthony Pettis – evidently resolved to out-do the headliner – put on a fight for the ages, with Ferguson some way or another returning from a terrible knockdown in the second round to demolish Pettis, driving his corner to stop the battle before the third round. The battle was broadly considered conceivably the best of the year, point clear.
However, could Khabib versus Conor convey? Obviously, it could. Most fans will likely recall the battle as an uneven beating to support Nurmagomedov, yet that wasn’t generally the situation – beyond any doubt, McGregor was on edge for the greater part of the battle, yet he did well to endure Khabib’s torrent in the second round and really won the third round before being submitted in the fourth.

Obviously, what sticks in the vast majority’s psyches about this occasion is the wild fight that occurred after Khabib versus McGregor was finished, however while it didn’t demonstrate the game in the best light, it was positively critical and gotten a lot of press inclusion for quite a long time following the occasion.
What’s more, it was a film industry hit, as well – drawing a massive 2.4m purchases, making it the smash hit UFC pay-per-perspective ever. Basically, UFC 229 was the most advertised card ever and some way or another, some way, it conveyed all that it guaranteed and the sky is the limit from there. It was by a wide margin the best show of 2018.
