Heated Debate Over Neo-Classicism in the Modern Age
Spills Over Into Fisticuffs |
Right
after Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor to retain his UFC lightweight
championship on 10/6 in Las Vegas he climbed the cage and charged at Dillon
Danis – McGregor’s jujitsu coach. All hell broke loose from there after several
of Nurmagomedov’s team members entered the Octagon and charged McGregor and
punched him. The fight should have launched Nurmagomedov to another level but
with the chaos after the fight it just makes him look bad. According to UFC
President Dana White three members of Nurmagomedov’s team were arrested then
released when McGregor decided not to press charges. Nurmagomedov isn’t sorry
about anything that happened and told reporters that McGregor’s trash talk
leading up to the match was over the line. McGregor didn’t talk to the media
after the fight but did talk to Nevada State Athletic Commission personnel who
gave him the money he was promised for the fight. Nurmagedov’s earnings are
being withheld. White told the press that a long suspension by the Nevada State
Athletic Commission was possible and if that happens then Nurmagomedov could be
stripped of the lightweight title. He also said the two members of
Nurmagomedov's team that jumped in the cage that are currently on the UFC roster
will never fight in the promotion again. |
