UFC 292 kept the fans on the edges of their seats with Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley going against each other in the main event. However, the event also featured the finale of The Ultimate Fighter season 31. The entropy of the MMA world began rising as Kurt Holobaugh defeated Austin Hubbard with a triangle choke in the second round and became TUF lightweight winner. 

The lightweight fight commenced with Hubbard sending a kick and Holobaugh dodging it. Hubbard was quick to take down his opponent and the two grappled to take control of the fight. Holobaugh didn’t take much time to recover and escape from Hubbard’s clutches. After exchanging a few more strikes, Hubbard executed a successful single-leg takedown, and tried to choke out his opponent. But Holobaugh wasn’t willing to go down. 

‘Thud’ initiated the second round by sending a flurry of punches, but Holobaugh was quick to evade and return the favor. Soon, Hubbard tried a takedown, but wasn’t successful. However, things quickly turned in Holobaugh’s favor. He took down ‘Thud’ and struggled to take control of his opponent’s back.

Following his spectacular victory, Holobaugh sent a call-out to Paddy Pimblett and sent waves of cheers through the crowd. However, not everyone was pleased with the match. As the fighter from Michael Chandler‘s team won the lightweight trophy, Conor McGregor was not happy at all. He took to Twitter and sent a message to ‘Iron’.

McGregor further took his shots at Holobaugh and dismissed him as a victor. He wanted an immediate rematch.
