The Main Event Like most UFC events, the main fight is the one getting the most attention—and for good reason. McGregor is arguably one of the best professional fighters of all-time and the most high-profile UFC athlete currently fighting. Adding to the excitement for the natch is the fact that the last time McGregor was in a ring of any kind for a professional match was against Floyd Mayweather in the summer of 2017.
Steven Ryan/Getty Images While that fight made McGregor richer than any other UFC fighter in the world, it also made fans wonder if he’d ever step back into the Octagon again. That question has been answered, and now he’ll take on one of his most-skilled opponents ever in Nurmagomedov. McGregor comes in with only three losses on his record, but Nurmagomedov is undefeated at 26-0-0, and he’ll be trying to keep that sheet clean in this fight. Over the last couple years, this is the fight UFC fans have been asking for. Now, they’ll get it.

The Fight Card For as much as the Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov fight is the one everyone wants to see, there’s plenty more on the schedule for UFC 229 than just that fight. The main card has four other fights on schedule before the McGregor-Nurmagomedov battle, and there are also a slate of preliminary card fights that could be great matchups.
Alex Trautwig/Getty Images Here’s the full fight card schedule: Main Card: Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov Tony Ferguson vs. Anthony Pettis Ovince Saint Preux vs. Dominick Reyes Derrick Lewis vs. Alexander Volkov Michelle Waterson vs. Felice Herrig Undercard Sergio Pettis vs. Jussier Formiga Vicente Luque vs. Jalin Turner Tonya Evinger vs. Aspen Ladd Lina Lansberg vs. Yana Kunitskaya Alan Patrick vs. Scott Holtzman Gray Maynard vs. Nik Lentz Ryan LaFlare vs. Tony Martin Stats to Know
Steven Ryan/Getty Images Nurmagomedov has an extra inch of height over McGregor, but the Irish fighter has a slightly longer reach at 74 inches to 70 inches. Nurmagomedov comes in having won 26 straight fights, which is the longest of any active UFC fighter, according to ESPN. The second longest in the lightweight division? Tony Ferguson, who will be fighting against Anthony Pettis in the second high-profile matchup of UFC 229. McGregor gets a lot of his business done by knockouts, coming in having won by knockouts in 18 of his 21 wins in his career.
