UFC 229 weigh-ins
Hasbulla Magomedov's rendition of the UFC 229 weigh-ins had MMA fans around the world rolling with laughter. But the real-life event saw one of the most intense stare-downs between rivals Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor was first to the scale. The Las Vegas crowd erupted as McGregor made his way up the stage. The Irishman flexed and let out a war cry after his official weight of 154.5 pounds was announced.
A calm and collected Khabib went out next. He stepped on the scale and weighed in at exactly 155 pounds.
As the combatants faced off, UFC president Dana White struggled to keep them away from each other. A scuffle almost broke out when the Dublin native tried to get too close to Khabib.
