UPDATE: Conor McGregor loses to Khabib Nurmagomedov

UPDATE 10.47 am - Conor McGregor loses to Khabib Nurmagomedov by submission at the UFC lightweight championship to retain title.

onor McGregor is returning to mixed martial arts after a 23-month absence when he takes on lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. McGregor will attempt to regain one of his two UFC titles in the main event at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night. McGregor (21-3) is a slight betting underdog, but that didn't discourage thousands of Irish fans from making the trek to Las Vegas for their hero's return to MMA after his boxing dalliance with Floyd Mayweather last year. Their bout also represents a classic MMA clash of styles. Courtesy by Telegraph News
