Khabib fought both McGregor and Poirier in his unparalleled career, beating both men by submission; first McGregor at UFC 229 and then Poirier at UFC 242, both for the lightweight title. He was arrested a forced to serve community service in New York following the bus attack, and soon after a date was set for McGregor to fight Khabib at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, the event is known best for the post-fight antics, when McGregor and Khabib both became embroiled in post-fight brawls that cost them heavy fines. Poirier almost submitted Khabib with a guillotine, but ultimately succumbed to the same fate as McGregor in the fight; a submission loss.
