Twitter Reacts To Khabib Submitting McGregor, Insane Post-Fight Brawl
Last night’s (Sat. October 6, 2018) UFC 229 pay-per-view (PPV) ended in insane fashion.
Khabib Nurmagomedov successfully defended his lightweight title against Conor McGregor. Khabib submitted the Irishman via fourth round rear-naked choke. After the fight, Khabib let his emotions get the best of him. After yelling at McGregor, he jumped the cage and attacked one of McGregor’s teammates.
A huge brawl ensued, both outside the cage and inside. While Khabib was tangling with one of McGregor’s teammates, some of Khabib’s team jumped inside the cage. A few of Khabib’s teammates actually attacked McGregor and struck him several times.
The mixed martial arts (MMA) community took to Twitter to react to the entire ordeal. Check out their reactions here:
Khabib Nurmagomedov jumps out of the Octagon and there's a melee outside the cage. Now someone jumps into the cage and starts throwing punches at Conor McGregor. DISGUSTING.

Oh no! Khabib jumps the fence and attacks Conor's corner outside the cage including Dillon Danis!

Khabib Nurmagomedov just marred what should have been a huge moment for him and now he might be facing a suspension and a huge fine and the teammate that punched Conor should get banned from ever cornering again. Period #UFC229

I don’t want to hear these announcers talking about how this isn’t what they wanted to see. They all created this monster. This is what they sell as a product and then they don’t like when it gets out of hand.

Excellent aftermath of the UFC tonight all is fair in love and war,!

Hey guys, two wrongs don’t make it right. Conor didn’t deserve that. No one did. But some things aren’t for fight promotion. Religion, family, country. Throwing stuff in Brooklyn. For Khabib it wasn’t fight promotion, it was really personal. Diff culture man. Sucks
