While Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were the center of attention for UFC 229 and the brawl that followed, a couple of lesser known fighters have found themselves sharing part of that limelight. On the Khabib side of things, Zubaira Tukhugov took his chance to take a swing at McGregor, over the Irishman’s ‘traitor’ taunts.
Out of the ‘Notorious’ camp, however, Dillon Danis was the one making headlines. The jiu jitsu black belt ended up square in the ‘Eagle’’s flight path following Nurmagomedov’s victory. In a fit of rage, the Dagestani climbed the Octagon and leapt across a barrier to deliver a flying kick at Danis, who had reportedly been taunting the champion from his seat cage-side.
