UFC 229 FARCE! Khabib Nurmagomedov apologizes for shocking mass brawl after McGregor fight
What was billed as the biggest fight in UFC history descended into chaos after Khabib Nurmagomedov defended his UFC lightweight title against Conor McGregor via fourth-round submission at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. All hell broke loose after Nurmagomedov stood over and taunted a fallen McGregor after the fight stopped and referee Herb Dean restrained him.
The Russian fighter proceeded to run towards McGregor's corner to have words with the Irishman's team before then jumping over the octagon and seemingly attacking one of his team members. Nurmagomedov also got into a war of words with UFC President Dana White, who then chose to skip the traditional post-match interview and told the Russian, "If I put this belt on you, everybody's going to start throwing s**t into the Octagon."
