Khabib Nurmagomedov was fed up with Conor McGregor’s camp long before the events of UFC 229.
The reigning UFC lightweight champion confirmed Dillon Danis did nothing in the moment to provoke his assault in the aftermath of UFC 229. Some have suggested Danis — a teammate of McGregor’s — may have called out the champion cage side but that is not the case.
“No, I didn’t hear him, you know,” Nurmagomedov assured in a video published by Submission Radio. “I didn’t hear him, it was too loud.”
Instead, the assault on Danis was a consequence of his age.
