Sometimes, the aftermath of a match gains more talk rather than the fight itself. Be it a victory or defeat, post-fight brawls are thought to be a way for the fighter’s teams to vent out their stress and frustration. Such was the case in the post-fight brawl at UFC 229 that happened between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. 

The bout between ‘The Eagle’ and ‘The Notorious’ ended with the latter tapping out. During the post-fight, all hell broke out and chaos took over. Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor stood up and tried to regain his honor. He narrated the entire story to Tony Robbins in an interview. 

In the interview, Tony Robbins asked Conor McGregor about the fight that broke out after his last bout. McGregor told the story. He explained how Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped off the fence after his win and went into the crowd to make some noise. McGregor called Nurmagomedov’s team ‘rats’ as they ‘scurried’ away from the crowd. ‘The Notorious’ acknowledged that ‘The Eagle’ won the bout and paid his respect.
