Macduff kills Macbeth after telling Macbeth that he wasn't born of a woman; he was born of a C-section or "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb as it says in the play. After Macduff reveals this it appears that Macbeth gives up on fighting because he realizes that it is his destiny to die at the hands of Macduff and then he makes an effort to die an honorable fighting death. Macduff kills and beheads Macbeth off stage, and then he brings Macbeth's head on a pole and presents it to Malcolm the new and rightful king of Scotland.
On the battlefield, Macbeth at last encounters Macduff. They fight, and when Macbeth insists that he is invincible because of the witches' prophecy, Macduff tells Macbeth that he was not of woman born, but rather from his mother's womb / Untimely ripped (5.10.15-16). Macbeth suddenly fears for his life.
