Conor McGregor: The Ultimate Superfan Guide
The arena where Conor McGregor lost the biggest fight of his life — and where UFC PPV history was made at 2.4M buys.
UFC 229 on October 6, 2018 is the single biggest pay-per-view event in UFC history per Wikipedia and the UFC's own results page, with 2.4 million buys and a Nevada-record $17.2 million live gate at T-Mobile Arena. Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor with a rear-naked choke at 3:04 of the fourth round, then leapt the octagon fence to confront McGregor's cornerman Dillon Danis — sparking the now-infamous post-fight brawl, per MMA Mania and the Las Vegas Review-Journal. McGregor had already become 'UFC's meal ticket' (per LVSportsBiz) and sipped his own Proper No. Twelve whiskey during the pre-fight press conference at the same building. UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2 is also scheduled at T-Mobile Arena (July 11, 2026) per UFC.com — meaning T-Mobile is unambiguously McGregor's Vegas building, before and after.
