At least one member of Conor McGregor ’s team isn’t all the upset with Khabib Nurmagomedov ’s reaction at UFC 229. On Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) successfully defended his lightweight title with a dominant submission win over McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC). Moments afterward, Nurmagomedov incited an all-out brawl when he jumped the octagon fence. During his UFC 229 post-fight press conference , Nurmagomedov said the motivation for his actions was the deeply personal trash talk from McGregor in the build-up to the fight
