TMZ: Conor's Teammate Dillon Danis Called Khabib a 'F--king Muslim Rat' at Fight
Dillon Danis, a teammate of Conor McGregor, reportedly calledย Khabib Nurmagomedov a "f--king Muslim rat" during the UFC 229 main event Saturday, a fan told TMZ Sports.ย
Following his submission victory over McGregor, Nurmagomedov exited the Octagon and leapt into the crowd to try to fight Danis. That sparked a melee both inside and outside of the cage as members of Nurmagomedov's camp exchanged blows with McGregor as well.
After the event,ย Nurmagomedov told reporters he had been angered by McGregor's comments toward him during the buildup to the fight, per MMA Fightingย (warning: NSFW language):

UFC President Dana White said authorities arrested three members ofย Nurmagomedov's camp for their roles in the incident but that McGregor declined to press charges, according to ESPN.com'sย Arash Markazi.ย White added that theย Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is withholdingย Nurmagomedov's fight check pending an investigation into the matter.
"It's bad," White said. "There's gonna be an investigation by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and ... there's gonna be big-money fines, and these guys are in big trouble.ย Again, we need to see how this plays out. Nobody has ever done that; nobody should ever do that."
Whileย Nurmagomedov's immediate future appears to be up in the air, McGregor wasted little time hyping up a return fight.
During an interview on ESPN'sย First Takeย on Monday, White said McGregor had reached out to him about a rematch withย Nurmagomedov. White also acknowledged the multiple hurdles in the way of that fight and included Tony Ferguson, rather than McGregor, as an option forย Nurmagomedov's next opponent. The comments begin at the 5:32 mark of the video below:
Days before UFC 229, White told Yahoo Sports'ย Kevin Ioleย that the UFC was confident the pay-per-view would garner three million buys, which would nearly double the company'sย previous bestย (1.6 million buys for UFC 202).
Considering how much money UFC would stand to gain from a rematch, it seems inevitableย Nurmagomedov and McGregor will cross paths in the Octagon again at some point down the road.
