It was pretty much the wild night everyone had expected – and more.

The main event of UFC 229, that pitted Conor McGregor against UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, took a turn on Saturday night after the Russian submitted the Irishman with a tight neck crank in the fourth round.

The real drama came after the submission, though, as Nurmagomedov mounted the fence of the octagon and leapt into the crowd after McGregor’s friends.

Among McGregor’s entourage was rapper Drake, who sported an Irish flag when he attended the pre-fight weigh-in.

While Drake was probably safe in a luxury VIP suite somewhere, it didn't stop people from joking that he would have been terrified to see the Russian lightweight flying towards him in the stands.
