After Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor<\/a> at UFC 229, a post-fight brawl<\/a> ensued. Nurmagomedov went after Bellator welterweight Dillon Danis, who was in McGregor’s corner. While that was happening, some of Nurmagomedov’s teammate’s attacked McGregor inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Since Saturday\u00a0night, Nurmagomedov still has not received his fight purse<\/a>. And, UFC President Dana White said if any of the people who attacked McGregor inside the Octagon are UFC fighters they would no longer be apart of the company.<\/p>\n

Well, UFC featherweight Zubaira Tukhugov happened to be one of those people that attacked McGregor. Already, his fight against Artem Lobov<\/a> in UFC Moncton has been canceled. But,\u00a0Tukhugov is still is on the roster.<\/p>\n

Not only is\u00a0Tukhugov’s fight off, but Nurmagomedov also posted a fiery statement.<\/a> He stated he would never fight in the UFC again if\u00a0Tukhugov is released. Well, apparently that isn’t a big enough threat as fan favorite\u00a0Nate Diaz<\/a> posted to Twitter saying they can fire him instead of\u00a0Tukhugov.<\/p>\n
