Arrests Made as Khabib Jumps Cage to Fight Conor McGregor’s Team, Sparking Brawl

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.

“This is not something we’re going to like, not something we condone, not something we’re going to promote, this is not professional, but it is the fight game to an extent,” said one of the UFC commentators as havoc rocked the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“They did the responsible thing getting a limo so they wouldn’t have to drive anywhere,” their aunt, Barbara Douglas, told reporters on Sunday. She did not want to name them publicly but added: “They were wonderful girls. They'd do anything for you and they were very close to each other and they loved their family.”
