New footage has emerged shedding a whole new light on Khabib Nurmagomedov attacking Conor McGregor’s entourage following his victory at UFC 229 over the weekend.
In what was billed as the biggest fight in the 25-year history of the company, Khabib caught Conor with a strong fist early in the second round sending McGregor to the floor.
The fight eventually came to an end in the fourth round when McGregor was forced into submission.
What followed was almost cinematic in its lairiness. Khabib, not so content with winning the scrap, proceeded to jump out of the Octagon and into McGregor’s camp. People from Khabib’s entourage then jumped into the Octagon and swung for McGregor who had been swinging a couple of arms at another member of the Russian’s team.
Today, new video footage has been uploaded to Twitter which shines a pretty revealing light on the big shebang.

It was McGregor’s first fight back in the Octagon since a two-year hiatus from MMA, during which time he boxed Floyd Mayweather, losing by TKO in round 10 of their August 2017 bout.
Good knock. Looking forward to the rematch.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) October 7, 2018
McGregor’s opponent Khabib escaped suspension on medical grounds after finishing the fight relatively unscathed and passing post-match medical examinations.
