Gallery Photos: Dana White separates UFC fighters view 34 images UFC President Dana White isn’t sure about an immediate rematch between lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor . But if they do run it back at some point, don’t expect much – if any – intervention from the promotion to keep the peace. Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) successfully defended his title last month with a submission win over McGregor  (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) at UFC 229. Chaos ensued moments later as Nurmagomedov jumped the octagon fence and went after McGregor’s corner, inciting a brawl on the arena floor and inside the cage. Afterward, Nurmagomedov explained that his actions were the result of the bitter build-up to the fight, which started with McGregor attacking a fighter bus carrying Nurmagomedov in April at UFC 223. It continued as the fight got closer, with McGregor talking trash about Nurmagomedov’s religion, father and country, which the champion took very personal.
