Dana White Says Khabib Won't Quit UFC: 'He's Staying. This Will All Work Out'

UFC President Dana White is confident Khabib Nurmagomedov will not leave the company after the lightweight champion threatened to split if his teammate, Zubaira Tukhugov, was disciplined for his role in the post-match melee at UFC 229.

"We're good with Khabib," White told TMZ Sports on Tuesday. "He's staying. This will all work out."

"We worked it out," White added. "We're gonna get everything worked out. Obviously, he was a little upset and a little fired up." (Warning: video contains profanity.)
