A look into the post-fight chaos of the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor fight
The highly anticipated clash between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor at UFC 229 ended dramatically inside and outside the Octagon. Nurmagomedov secured a dominant submission victory, but the real spectacle unfolded post-fight.
Immediately after the bout, a chaotic brawl erupted as Nurmagomedov scaled the cage and leaped onto McGregor’s teammate, Dillon Danis. The ensuing melee involved multiple fighters from both camps, with McGregor joining the fray after being initially subdued.
The incident led to significant repercussions, including hefty fines for both Nurmagomedov and McGregor.
Despite the intense rivalry and the demand for a rematch, Nurmagomedov surprisingly retired from the UFC in 2020. This left McGregor without the opportunity for a long-awaited rematch, a fight that many fans and analysts believed could have been one of the biggest in combat sports history.
McGregor has since faced mixed fortunes, suffering setbacks in his career and struggling to regain his former dominance.
