On October 6, 2018 Khabib Nurmagomedov met Conor McGregor in the cage after what felt like years of sniping back and forth at each other. The bout ended by fourth round submission, but the fight was far from over.
After getting the tap from McGregor, Nurmagomedov briefly celebrated. He then launched himself out of the cage to start a brawl with McGregor’s coaches. That brawl spilled into the cage with McGregor tangling with Nurmagomedov’s corner.
Fines and sanctions were handed down and both parties went their separate ways. Though there has been plenty of taunts over social media between the pair, we’ve not seem them come face-to-face since.
