Opinion: Khabib Nurmagomedov Did Nothing Wrong

Fists were thrown. Cages were jumped. Lines were crossed. The MMA world is still processing the madness that took place immediately following Khabib Nurmagomedov finishing Conor McGregor at UFC 229.

The post-fight brawl in and around the cage has gone mainstream, hitting the front page of popular websites and magazines outside of the sport. Everyone and their mother has some idea of what happened.

And of course, they all have their opinions on who was right and who was wrong. Upon review of the now-viral footage, both parties initiated conflict and it seems frustratingly grey who should be held culpable.
