admin Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Fists flew both inside and outside the octagon Saturday as a post-fight brawl marred a dominant performance by Khabib Nurmagomedov over Conor McGregor at the highly anticipated UFC 229 in Las Vegas. In the aftermath, three members of Nurmagomedov's entourage were arrested, but later released because McGregor declined to press charges, according to Bleacher Report, which cited information from Dana White, president of Ultimate Fighting Championship. Nurmagomedov, undefeated at 27-0, and the UFC’s lightweight champion at 155 pounds, won the fight in Round 4 by subduing McGregor at the 3:03 mark, the Washington Post reported. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-= While you're here . . .

An unidentified man then climbed into the octagon and punched a weary McGregor, of Dublin, who was still recovering from the fight. “I don’t even know what to say right now,” White said afterward. “I’m just disgusted and sick over it. ... We had so much security and (police) here. I didn’t see that one coming.” McGregor will be paid but not Nurmagomedov, per an investigation by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

He had been upset at an earlier confrontation between Nurmagomedov and a member of his team. McGregor was arrested following the incident. The incident led to major hostilities between the two camps during the buildup to Saturday's bout. Mike Tyson ✔@MikeTyson Watching the @TheNotoriousMMA vs @TeamKhabib fight.

Daniel Cormier, a friend of Nurmagomedov's, took to Twitter to give his thoughts on the melee. Daniel Cormier ✔@dc_mma Hey guys, two wrongs don’t make it right. Conor didn’t deserve that. No one did. But some things aren’t for fight promotion. Religion, family, country. Throwing stuff in Brooklyn. For Khabib it wasn’t fight promotion, it was really personal. Diff culture man.

He forayed into boxing in August 2017 when he was knocked out by Floyd Mayweather Jr. During his absence from the UFC, the organization stripped him of his lightweight title for inactivity.
