Former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor returned to the octagon after a nearly two-year hiatus at last weekend’s UFC 229 event, where he attempted to reclaim the UFC’s 155-pound title from undefeated champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the brash Irish superstar, McGregor, his fight with “The Eagle” at UFC 229<\/a> played out as many analysts expected it would.<\/p>\n

Khabib Nurmagomedov was able to utilize his superior grappling ability to earn a decisive fourth-round submission victory over “Mystic Mac”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the outcome of last Saturday’s UFC 229 main event may not have shocked the world in quite the same fashion as the post-fight brawl<\/a>. The fact that Khabib Nurmagomedov dropped Conor McGregor with an overhand right in round two of the fight had a lot of fans stunned.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Joe Rogan<\/a> Experience MMA Show, John Kavanagh, McGregor\u2019s head coach, revealed that Conor was very upset after making a technical mistake which led to Khabib’s second-round knockdown.<\/p>\n

“He (Conor) hates technical mistakes. So that right hand, you know… he was very disappointed he got caught with a shot like that. But it is actually funny, I was just thinking about this, you know that right hand, if you showed it to a boxing coach he would say ‘That’s horrible. Your head is down and you’re swinging’. But again, I don’t really care about peoples opinions on things. I just care about the strikes effectiveness. It was a damn effective technique. You know it’s one of the hardest clean shots Conor has been caught with in his MMA career.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Following his disappointing setback to the undefeated Russian champion at UFC 229, Conor McGregor assured his fans that he would be back and was “looking forward<\/a>” to a rematch with Khabib.<\/p>\n
