The madness that was UFC 229 hasn’t slowed down all too much since the event itself concluded. But all appears well again in UFC land.<\/p>\n

After some newly acquired fame, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has been all the rage since successfully defending his title against Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then the champion has threatened to leave the UFC<\/a> if his teammate gets released, discussed going to Bellator with 50Cent<\/a> and called out Floyd Mayweather<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite all that, UFC president Dana White says that things are all good between Nurmagomedov and the organization in which he holds a title for as he told\u00a0TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We’re good. We’re good with Khabib. I don’t know [who he’s going to fight next]. We haven’t talked about that yet. He’s doing this whole tour right now, he’s going to UAE, he was over with [Vladimir] Putin…he’s doing all this stuff. Let this guy enjoy his win and then we’ll figure that out.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re all good. We worked it out. We’re gonna get everything worked out. Obviously, he was a little upset and a little fired up…and yeah. We’ll get it all worked out. Listen, guys get very emotional, man. That was a very emotional fight for him, obviously.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, Khabib’s a great guy. We’ve always had a great relationship with him.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As for Nurmagomedov’s teammate,\u00a0UFC featherweight Zubaira Tukhugov, his fate remains to be determined.<\/p>\n

“Well, [Khabib’s] staying in the UFC. He’s staying. This will all work out. I don’t know what’s gonna happen [with Tukhugov]. We’ll see how it plays out. Khabib’s happy.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nurmagomedov’s win over McGregor extended his perfect record to an incredible 27-0. He and McGregor are currently awaiting their punishments from the NSAC<\/a> for their post-fight actions at UFC 229.<\/p>\n
