The atmosphere remains heavy between Khabib Nurmagomedov and the UFC. The widespread confusion caused by the Russian and his team after UFC 229, last Saturday (06), in Las Vegas (USA), when it ended Conor McGregor, continues to generate conflict within the organization.

Through his social networks, the lightweight champion made a long outburst against Ultimate, complaining about the possibility of his training partner Zubaira Tukhugov, who attacked McGregor post-fight, be fired. According to Khabib, if Tukhugov has his contract terminated, he will also break his contract with the UFC.

“I would like to address this to the UFC. If you think I will remain silent, then you are mistaken. You canceled Zubaira's fight and want to fire him just because he hit Conor. But don't forget that it was Conor who hit my other brother first, just check the video. If you decide to fire him, you must know that you will lose me too. We never give up on our brothers in Russia and I will go all the way for my brother. If you still decide to fire him, don't forget to send me my breach of contract, otherwise I will break it on my own. And one more thing, you can have my money that you are holding. You're too busy with this and I hope it doesn't get stuck in your throat. We defend our honor and that is the most important thing. We intend to go until the end”

The decision is not yet official, but Dana White, president of Ultimate, guaranteed that all the Russians involved in the mess, with the exception of Nurmagomedov, would never fight in his organization again. Zubaira Tukhugov He has a fight scheduled for October 27th, at UFC Moncton, against Artem Lobov, who, interestingly, is McGregor's training partner.
