The biggest fight of the year and by far in the UFC ended in a spectacular fashion as Conor was smashed right from the first round with Khabib mauling him like a bear and forcing him tap out to via neck crank. Conor didnt stand a chance against the 26-0 undefeated champion who is known for his devastating take downs and relentless pressure. Khabib dropped Conor with an overhand right and got his attention. He tool him down in every round and was on the top position for more than 5 mins as he landed vicious punches & elbows. By the third round, Conor was all gassed out and Khabib standing right in front of him mocking his striking. He stood toe to toe against him and threw beautiful combinations. But the end was written in the form of another take down where Conor tapped for the second time inside the octagon. There is absolutely no one who can defeat the Eagle…not even the Irish Gorilla.
