Dana White: Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammates not charged by cops after Conor McGregor balks at filing report

LAS VEGAS — Early reports that three of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammates were arrested Saturday were premature.

UFC president Dana White said at the UFC 229 post-fight press conference Saturday night that Conor McGregor would not file a report against the men who came into the cage and attempted to attack him, as a melee ensued following the card’s main event.

“The way that that works is, Conor was one of the guys who was attacked and things like that,” White said. “Conor refused to press charges. The guys that they did have, they were released.
