This weekend on October 6 the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will host the great fight show UFC 229. The tournament will be headlined by one of the most long-awaited and huge confrontations in the history of mixed martial arts - the meeting of the unbeaten UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov of Russia with the Irish superstar, the former promotion champion in two divisions Conor MacGregor.
In the second main event, the former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson and former champion Anthony Pettis will cross the gloves. Match makers of the promotion not without reason added this fight to the card of the tournament - any of these fighters, if necessary, can become a substitute in the main event.
Also on the main card, an intriguing US vs Russian confrontation in a difficult division will take place - Derrick Lewis will fight Alexander Volkov. It is likely that the winner of this fight will receive the right to meet with the champion.
The live broadcast of the preliminary bouts will begin on Saturday night, at 6:15 pm ET. All links will appear on our website on the day before the tournament.
