UFC 229: Nurmagomedov Vs. McGregor

[kann]

Pettis shrugs.

Oh, big elbow by Ferg just opened up another vagina on Pettis's face. He's bloody.

 

[kann]

More elbows by Ferg.

Crowd is into it for Tony. Ole!

 

[kann]

Damn, Pettis has his back against the fence and is eating shots in the fins seconds.

He tries a cartwheel!

 

[kann]

FOTN, so far. Easy.

Ferguson is owning this.

Doc is contemplating a stoppage.

Doc stops it due to broken hand by Pettis.

 

[jbfurdog]

Leaking. That’s a full open faucet.

 

[kann]

Finish: Pettis's corner says no more, and doc stops it.

Great fookin' fight. Ferguson is emotional. Great sportsmanship.

 

[kann]

I don't like Anthony Pettis, but he earned a lot of respect from me tonight. Damn, that was an amazing two rounds. This fight was so great that I don't even feel cheated it was stopped.

 

[kann]

I really don't know how this main event is going to go. I mean, on paper, it should be Khabib, because he is a ground gamer as well as a hell of a striker. However, I will admit that I've been proven wrong by Conor McGregor too many times, so I'll never write him off. In any case... here we go. Walkouts commencing!

 

[kann]

Conor is swaggering around the Octagon as he does.

They better cut out the dry ice or we're going to have to wait for it to clear before the fight!

 

[kann]

Here comes Khabib. Strange seeing Conor out first and having to wait for his opponent.

 

[kann]

Bruce Buffer seems to have changed suit jackets for the main event.

Fighter intros. I'll say, if you've never experienced Bruce Buffer introducing a main event in person, you are missing out. It really is electrifying.

 

[kann]

No glove touch.

 

[kann]

R1

Conor lands first. Khabi b shoots. SCramble on the ground. They are intertwinced. STill working it.

Khabib gets it. Conor on his butt against the cage.

 

[kann]

Khabib has Conor's legs wrapped up. Still with Conor's back against the cage. McG is tossing a few light elbos at Khabib's head. Not much happening.

Looks like Kahabib might be going for an arm.

 

[kann]

2:30 R1,

Khabib has Conor's legs wrapped up so he can't move. Butt still against the cage. Not much doing from it all.

 

[kann]

Khabib is slowly working for something.

Conor is slapping Kahbib's ear. A few strikes to the head by Khabib.

Conor tried for a halfhearted guillotine, but Khabib slips out.

Conor now on his back.

 

[kann]

1 minute left, Khabib on topin halfguard. He's working for something, but can't tell what.

 

[kann]

Conor is being suffocated on his back against the cage.

Khabib drops some big shots to end the round.

End R1.

1-0 Khabib

 

[kann]

Khabib remains standing, Conor seated in his corner.

R2.

M looks like he’s worried he’s in trouble.
