Khabib Nurmagomedov has apologised for instigating an ugly brawl following his stunning defeat of Conor McGregor which has been condemned by UFC president Dana White and the former boxer Mike Tyson among others.
McGregor’s mixed martial arts return after a near two-year hiatus fell flat as he tapped out midway through the fourth round, but Nurmagomedov soured a career-best performance with his actions immediately afterwards. The Russian, whose victory meant he retained his lightweight title, threw his gumshield, vaulted the cage and attacked someone from McGregor’s camp.
