After defeating Conor McGregor at UFC 229 on Saturday, which ended in a brawl, Khabib Nurmagomedov met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a Russian sport forum on Wednesday.
The reighing UFC lightweight champion met Putin with his father, Abdulmanap.
Nurmagomedov (27–0) beat McGregor (21–4) in a fourth-round submission, but following the win, he jumped out of the octagon, sparking a melee. McGregor's team had reportedly been trash talking Nurmagomedov, and then Nurmagomedov's teammates jumped into the octagon to attack McGregor.
Abdulmanap reportedly told Russian TV that his punishment will be "much stronger" than what the UFC decides on behalf of his son.
