The chaotic scene unfolded in the octagon at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as Nurmagomedov jumped over the cage and charged at McGregor’s friend Dillon Danis, who was sitting cage-side.
One of Nurmagomedov’s teammates then entered the octagon and attacked McGregor, causing chaos to erupt. The incident was quickly broken up by security, but the damage was already done.
UFC President Dana White immediately refused to give Nurmagomedov his lightweight championship belt and the fighter was escorted out of the arena by Las Vegas police.
The three members of Nurmagomedov’s team were quickly arrested and taken into custody.
The arrests of Nurmagomedov’s teammates highlight the severity of the situation, and it remains to be seen what the legal consequences will be for their actions. The UFC has a strict code of conduct that all fighters and teams must adhere to, and any violations can result in suspension or even termination.
Nurmagomedov issued a statement on social media following the incident, apologizing for his actions and calling on his fans to respect the sport and its values.
In conclusion, the post-fight brawl at UFC 229 was a regrettable incident that marred what should have been a memorable night for the sport.
