The acclaimed VICE Studios series "Dark Side of the Cage" returns Tuesday with a deep dive into the most notorious rivalry in MMA history: Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov.
"Conor vs. Khabib," the fifth episode of the show's second season on VICE TV (9 p.m. ET), will, according to the log lines, take a look at what happens when "two polar opposite superstars collide when McGregor’s brash warfare meets Nurmagomedov’s disciplined dominance, sparking a heated feud that explodes out of the cage."
The episode focuses on the dolly through the bus window at UFC 222 by McGregor, and ultimately his UFC 229 fight with Nurmagomedov that led to a post-bout brawl and suspensions.

to the mayhem.
"Dark Side of the Cage" episodes air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on VICE TV. Future episodes will feature the marble-mouthed imbecile Tito Ortiz, Mark Coleman, and a show about the rise and fall of the Affliction clothing brand, which launched a promotion to compete with the UFC, but found itself calling it quits after two events, and a third that was canceled.
The show's season premiere went inside the career of Jason Miller, whose “Mayhem” nicknamed proved to be prophetic when it came to not just his in-cage personality, but his outside-the-cage issues – which were plentiful for more than a decade. The second episode took a look at the tragic downfall of Phil Baroni, who is in prison in Mexico charged with murdering his girlfriend. Additionally, the series has tackled Don Frye and Chael Sonnen. You can watch those full episodes below.
