Now an impressive 27-0 in his professional mixed martial arts career, some are saying that Khabib has tarnished his legacy after he provoked a full scale brawl at UFC 229.
In the incident (replay above), the UFC lightweight champion scaled the Octagon cage and jump kicked McGregor teammate Dillon Danis.
As it would go, several of Khabib’s teammates would scale the Octagon cage the other way, pushing and shoving their way into the cage to punch Conor McGregor.
Men have been arrested, men have been fired, and Khabib stands by all those who had his back on the night.
In a new post to Nurmagomedov’s Instagram, his first statement on the men who jumped Conor McGregor, Khabib is pictured with all those involved, and he says he loves them, and calls them his brothers.
Here’s his original post:
Just love this guys.
#Brothers
