New footage reveals why Khabib's team attacked McGregor

Khabib was involved in ugly scenes at the end of UFC 229

The men jumped into the Octagon and swung at McGregor, and were subsequently arrested following the insane melee.

Geordie then stated that McGregor would have to beat Khabib in order to be seen as "the best fighter in the world" - which isn't looking likely, as Khabib faces potential suspension for his assault on McGregor's Jiu Jitsu coach following his victory.

Did McGregor throw the first punch?

The two other men saw the punch and made a decision to join the melee.

"They looked at the footage and felt there was no need to hold his".

In a recent Instagram post, Daniel "DC" Cormier had some kind words of praise and motivation for his fellow American Kick Boxing Academy teammate Khabib Nurmagomedov, ahead of his title defense against Conor McGregor at UFC 229.

McGregor's US$3m purse was not withheld after commission officials examined video footage and determined his side had done nothing wrong.

From Conor McGregor himself, the social media utterances were kept pretty short and sweet. "No one wants to be under that guy for any amount of time", Philips said.

The fight had been highlighted by bad blood between both camps, with McGregor pleading guilty in July as part of a deal with prosecutors to resolve charges over an April melee in which he attacked a bus the Russian was traveling on.

"He talk about my religion, he talk about my country, he talk about my father, he come to Brooklyn and he broke bus, he nearly killed a couple people - what about this?" he asked reporters. After McGregor tapped, referee Herb Dean had to restrain Nurmagomedov and push him away from McGregor.

However, it proved to be too little, too late, and Nurmagomedov was once again on top in the fourth, sapping McGregor's energy with his excruciating pressure before the choke ended the fight 3:03 into the fourth round.

Apparent fans of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor got into a confrontation with police on October 6 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
