By the Numbers: UFC 229

UFC 229 will live in infamy for what happened after the main event concluded.

While there will be plenty of time to dissect what happened in the aftermath, there was still a winner in the main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. That, of course, was Khabib Nurmagomedov, who submitted Conor McGregor in the fourth round to retain his lightweight crown. Nurmagomedov was his usual suffocating self in victory, and if he is allowed to keep his belt, will be a difficult man to dethrone from the top of the division.

Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 229, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.
