But it was what happened after the bout that will make the headlines, with McGregor being sucker-punched following the end of the bout.

Khabib made him tap out, before jumping out of the Octagon and brawling with people in the crowd.

Meanwhile, one of his pals leapt over the fence and threw a hook at the fallen Irish star.

Three of Khabib's pals were nicked by Las Vegas cops at the T-Mobile Arena and taken to jail.
