As for current UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, the undefeated Russian is still awaiting his punishment from the Nevada State Athletic Commission in regards to his involvement in UFC 229’s now infamous post-fight brawl.
After defeating his bitter rival Conor McGregor via fourth-round submission, “The Eagle” proceeded to jump out of the octagon and attack the Irishman’s teammate Dillon Danis (watch that here).
