UFC president Dana White said Khabib Nurmagomedov could be stripped of his lightweight championship title depending on whether he’s suspended after jumping out of the octagon and attacking a member of Conor McGregor’s team during UFC 229.

After Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor in the fourth round via submission, the Russian champion scaled the octagon fence and immediately attacked McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach, Dillon Danis. Amid the chaos, a brawl erupted inside and outside the octagon involving both camps, forcing the two to be escorted out via security.
