Khabib Nurmagomedov's Teammate Slapped Conor McGregor

Khabib Nurmagomedov's sparring partner Zubaira Tukhugov has boasted about slapping the Irishman in a video shared on social media. The incident happened after UFC 229, when the main event descended into a chaotic brawl after Nurmagomedov leapt out of the octagon towards McGregor's entourage. The men who attacked McGregor in the octagon were arrested but later released after the fighter decided not to press charges, UFC boss Dana White reportedly said. The bad blood between McGregor and Tukhugov goes back to August when the Irishman accused Tukhugov of being a traitor for taking a fight with his Russian teammate Artem Lobov.
