Dana White, UFC CEO, explained why the massive brawl that occurred after the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov And Conor McGregor, did not benefit the organization.
“We expected it, we were ready for it, and it still happened. It was disappointing to say the least. People think that everything is for our benefit. But in fact, for us that situation could not be called acceptable. We are the biggest in martial arts and therefore we must set an example for others,” the Games With Names functionary quotes.
Let us remember that the fight between Khabib and McGregor headlined UFC 229 and ended with Nurmagomedov’s early victory. He made Conor submit in the fourth round. Almost immediately after this, a massive brawl began, in which both fighters and members of their teams took part.
