Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov clashed at the UFC 229 main event. The bout stemmed from a feud that commenced following the Irish fighter’s media day bus attack at UFC 223.
At the event, ‘Notorious’ tapped in the fourth round to a neck crank. However, the infamous post-fight brawl is renowned. Here, ‘The Eagle’ jumped the Octagon and sprang into the crowd. In the ensuing melee, his teammates had a few swings at McGregor.
Now, Brett Okamoto name-dropped the former UFC 2 division Champion Georges St-Pierre as an opponent. The UFC President hinted that he would consider the fight.

Last week he even said he wished to stay retired following current UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman seeking a fight with him.
