In case you hadn’t heard, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s $2 million fight purse has been withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for his controversial post-fight antics at UFC 229.
After submitting bitter rival Conor McGregor in the fourth round of the main event, Nurmagomedov scaled the Octagon fence and charged at SBG Ireland’s Dillon Danis, who was reportedly partying with a concussion shortly after the attack. Bedlam ensued, as team McGregor and team Khabib came to blows inside the Octagon in one of the most chaotic post-fight scenes in the promotion’s history.
Nurmagomedov has threatened to leave the UFC if head president Dana White fires his teammate and friend Zubaira Tukhugov, who landed several punches on Conor McGregor during the UFC 229 post-fight brawl.
