Chaos erupted after Khabib Nurmagomedov retained his UFC lightweight title with a submission victory over Ireland’s Conor McGregor on Oct. 6, with members of the Russian fighter’s support team arrested following the outbreak of an all-in brawl after the bout.

Nurmagomedov ended McGregor’s attempt to win back the title when he sealed a brutal submission victory with a neck crank in the fourth round. The Russian fighter then jumped the fence and charged members of McGregor’s support team, sparking a massive brawl.
