Best quote of the night.
Cruz: "I wonder why he isnt trying to get up?
Joe Rogen: "Because he's exhausted!!"

Khabib’s ability to hook the legs and prevent everyone from getting up is incredible #ufc229

Love seeing McGregor get away with illegally hooking Khabib’s glove in order to stall 🙄

Mcgregor has committed more fouls than an nba player. 1.) hooking the glove. 2.) pulling the shorts 3.) feet in the cage. 4.) knee to the face on the ground and not even a warning what a joke
