In one of the most hyped fights in the history of UFC, Russia’s Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Ireland’s Conor McGregor through submission at UFC 229 brawl in Las Vegas.

The Russian controlled every part of the brawl. In the fourth round, McGregor began to wear out. Khabib forced a rear naked choke on the Irish man 3 minutes into the fourth round, bringing an end to McGregor’s dominance in the UFC lightweight division and extending the Russian’s record to 27 wins and 0 defeats.

While the fight was as entertaining as the two fighters had promised months before Sunday, it was what happened after the brawl that got everyone’s attention. Immediately after being announced the winner, Nurmagomedov sparked another brawl by sprinting towards McGregor’s corner to start another fight.

The undefeated champion hurled his mouth-guard towards McGregor’s teammates, particularly Dillon Danis. Chaos ensued immediately and securities had to be called to bring an end to the ugly scenes.

According to the Russian’s manager, Javier Mendez, Danis insulted Nurmagomedov provoking him to react the way he did.

“Dillon set him off, I guess,” Mendez told reporters.

UFC President Dana White later confirmed that three of the Russian’s teammates had been detained by the Nevada police despite McGregor’s choice not to press any charges. In fact, the Irishman was quick to accept defeat. He also announced he would be interested in a rematch.

“Good Knock. Looking forward to the rematch,” @TheNotoriousMMA (McGregor) tweeted.

Khabib Nurmagomdedov has revealed that negotiations are currently underway over a possible fight against Conor McGregor.

McGregor has not fought since his professional boxing defeat against Floyd Mayweather in August last year and the world is currently waiting for the Irishman to announce who his next opponent will be.

He has been linked with a possible rematch against Mayweather (this time under MMA rules) as well as a possible third fight against Nate Diaz.

“We’re talking, but if it takes too long, I don’t want to do that,” the new UFC lightweight champion said during a Q&A in Russia when asked about a fight with McGregor.

“If he wants to fight this year, then we can fight. Otherwise, I don’t know. We won’t wait long. I want to fight Conor and if he can fight, I will fight him.”

Meanwhile, former UFC light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier believes that Floyd Mayweather would not stand a chance if he does end up fighting McGregor in the Octagon.

“Any MMA fighter would beat Floyd in a full-on MMA fight,” Cormier told The Herd. “When you starting kicking guys, they turn.

“Floyd would probably fall down from leg kicks.”
