McGregor vs Khabib staredown video from UFC 229 weigh ins

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov came together for the final time today at the conclusion of the UFC 229 weigh-in event (full results here), roughly 24 hours before their lightweight pay-per-view (PPV) title fight tomorrow night (Sat., Oct. 6, 2018) inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

That’s where the grappling “Eagle” will defend his newly-won strap against the powerful punches of “Notorious,” following an intensive few weeks of pre-fight hype. Not even the Irishman’s media blackout could keep this event from setting all sorts of viewership records.

Watch them face off in the embedded video above.

I’d say that’s worth dancing for:

And we had some hands (and feet flying) between Derrick Lewis and Alexander Volkov.

I’m guessing we won’t get a touch of gloves tomorrow night.
