After a good start to round four by McGregor, Nurmagomedov was able to put his foe on the mat, drawing boos from the crowd. But Nurmagomedov was undaunted, and as he took McGregor’s back, he sunk in the rear naked choke that forced the Irishman to tap out at 3:03 of the fourth frame.

Unfortunately, several melees broke out after the conclusion of the bout, with Nurmagomedov jumping out of the Octagon to go after McGregor teammate Dillon Danis, and a member of Nurmagomedov’s camp punching McGregor.

With the win, Nurmagomedov moves to 27-0. McGregor, who was in the Octagon for the first time since November 2016, falls to 21-4.
