The Continued Undefeated Streak of Khabib Nurmagomedov in the Cage

The most significant fight in the history of mixed martial arts held inside the cage concluded with the victory of Khabib Nurmagomedov (Nurmohammedov) from Russia against Irish Conor McGregor. This fight took place in Las Vegas, and due to the controversy following the competition and tension in the arena, no official ceremony was held to introduce the winner and present the championship belt. Nurmagomedov stated in a press conference that Russian President Vladimir Putin had called him, congratulated him, and emphasized that he is proud of him. Nurmagomedov, nicknamed the Eagle of Dagestan, continued his undefeated record with this victory. After his knockout victory over his opponent, he jumped out of the cage and attacked a member of the rival team who was in a special seat. At the same time, several members of Khabib's team entered the cage and began to beat McGregor. This behavior will lead to their suspension and penalties. In recent weeks, McGregor's trash-talking style has received widespread attention. Debate and controversy are part of this sport, and McGregor, with his praised eloquence, is unmatched in pre-fight banter. This time, his jabs included members of Nurmagomedov's family as well as high-ranking political figures from Chechnya and Russia. McGregor called Nurmagomedov's Egyptian manager a terrorist and claimed that Ali Abdelaziz entered New York with five passports from Cairo during the September 11 disaster. McGregor had also stirred controversy in previous UFC events. He was arrested by New York police for attacking a bus of athletes, one of whom was Nurmagomedov. In the post-fight press conference, Nurmagomedov apologized to Nevada and Las Vegas for his actions after the fight. He said he would face punishment from his father when he returned home for this behavior. Meanwhile, videos emerged showing Dagestani citizens celebrating Khabib's victory on Sunday morning. The Russian athlete emphasized in interviews with reporters that this sport is about respect, not disrespect, and using inappropriate words about the religion, family, and nationality of opponents. Conor McGregor faced Floyd Mayweather in a symbolic boxing match in the same arena last year and lost. Early Sunday morning, in addition to the Khabib and Conor fight, eleven other matches were held, with Tony Ferguson managing to submit Anthony Pettis in the most significant match. They compete in Khabib's weight class, and it seems that if Nurmagomedov's competition with McGregor does not happen again, Ferguson will be the next opponent for the Eagle of Dagestan. In one of the most exciting fights, American Derrick Lewis managed to knock out Alexander Volkov from Russia in the final moments, despite being on the verge of defeat multiple times during the fight. Lewis, who spent some time in prison for delinquency and was a truck driver before turning to this sport, humorously stated that Donald Trump called him before the fight and asked him to take down the Russian opponent and Vladimir Putin. Women were also part of the competitions, showcasing breathtaking fights. The most critical women's fight was won by Michelle Waterson against Felice Herrig, who expressed her desire to be the first mother in the UFC organization to receive a championship belt.
