UFC's Promo For Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov Bout Is Spine-Tingling

Tonight we lay eyes on the biggest fight in the history of the sport and to get us in the mood for the mouthwatering clash between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC Have created a spine-tingling promo for the main event.

There's so much storied history, bad blood and so much at stake between these two titans - and this chilling video package, with its stunning production values, captures it perfectly.

Legendary Hollywood actor John Malkovich is the absolute business on narration duties, giving you all the feels going into UFC 229 in Las Vegas.

The 64-year old's stand out line is: "There is a simple way to decide who truly deserves to sit on the throne...lock the door behind them and let them fight."

Goosebumps all over the place. If this won't make you stay up late to see McGregor and Khabib slug it out over the UFC Lightweight title then we really don't know what will.

The hype surrounding this bout is nothing short of incredible and it's already on course to enter uncharted waters in terms of buy-rates.

According to UFC president Dana White, the pay-per-view is estimated to do around 3 to 3.5 million buys and as a result, McGregor is on course make some serious dollar upon his return to the Octagon.

It's not quite the mega-bucks he made from his last fight in Las Vegas when he made the switch to Boxing to fight Floyd Mayweather, but he'll probably be able to buy a fair few Freddos.

"We're estimating around 3 to 3.5 million (pay-per-view buys), I'd say I'll close in around the $50 million mark," he said at a pre-fight press conference.

"So for a mixed martial artist - to make $50 million in a mixed martial arts bout, it's quite breathtaking."

It's a far cry from a few years ago., with McGregor recalling the first time he fought Nate Diaz.

"To think where we have come from. When I fought Nate Diaz the first time, he was on $20,000 to show and $20,000 to win," he added.

With the fight mere hours away now, who do you see emerging victorious?
