Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the father of Khabib Nurmagomedov, promised to punish his son for a brawl after a fight with Conor MacGregor. After the battle Nurmagomedov attacked one of the representatives of the McGregor team outside the octagon.
“Khabib will suffer the most severe sanctions. I will treat him very harshly in this regard. After all, I warned him before, for me discipline is in the first place. In the Octagon, you do whatever you want. But outside - this is the place of civilians, where there are children, women, and other fans.”
“I don’t blame Tukhugov, who jumped into the cage and fought with his hands, neither Abubakar nor Rizvan. I do not blame Emiragaev, who on McGregor with his fists walked. Because this fight went inside the octagon - this is the place. But I am categorically against fighting outside the octagon - there should be a peace. Inside the octagon there is a show, for this is the place. Fight in octagon. Khabib tricked away from the guard, climbed, jumped forward with his feet. But this man shouted, insulted me, our religion, Khabib, and his team."
“Khabib threw a mouth guard towards the net - I think you saw it all at the end of the battle. Then, when he rushed forward, there were two guards in front of him. One watched not to let him out of the octagon. In a deceptive movement, Khabib climbed over and jumped forward with his feet. This, of course, was the limit of my nervous shocks. Still, I am responsible for this, he is my team. Because America didn’t let me go, I don’t take the responsibility off of myself here,” said Nurmagomedov Sr.
Khabib’s father promised that he would punish his son more severely than the UFC will. Earlier, the organization’s president, Dana White, said that sanctions could be applied to the fighter. Until the end of the investigation, Nurmagomedov purse was withdrawn.
