Khabib Nurmagomedov, following his UFC 229 victory and post-fight melee, threatened to quit fighting in the organization if they punish Zubaira Tukhugov for punching Conor McGregor.

“I would like to address UFC,” he wrote on Instagram. "Why didn’t you fire anyone when their team attacked the bus and injured a couple of people? They could have killed someone there; why no one says [sic] anything about insulting my homeland, religion, nation, family?”
