Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor congratulates Alex Ovechkin on knockout
The Washington Capitals were demolished 5-0 by the Carolina Hurricanes in Game Three, but it was Alex Ovechkin who made the most headlines.
During the first period, Ovechkin got in a fight with 19-year-old Andrei Svechnikov and knocked the rookie out in three punches. The UFC publicly responded to the knockout by tweeting out a Conor McGregor quote.
The former double champion himself congratulated Ovechkin on his fight Tuesday.
