Dana White Cuts Russian Fighter After Hitting Conor McGregor In Post-Fight Brawl

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t the only one in trouble after Saturday’s UFC 229 brawl, in Las Vegas.

That’s because, Khabib’s teammate, and fellow UFC fighter Zubaira Tukhugov, who was one of the men to punch Conor McGregor in the midst of the brawl, just got fired by UFC president Dana White.

UFC President announced the termination during Saturday night’s post-fight press conference.

Zubaira Tukhugov was scheduled to face-off with McGregor teammate Artem Lobov later this month.
