Khabib Nurmagomedov (say that three times fast) defeated Conor McGregor by submission last night to run his UFC record to 27-0.
After the fight, Nurmagomedov climbed out of the octagon and started an all-out brawl.

According to ESPN:
Nurmagomedov (27-0) defended his 155-pound championship at UFC 229 by submitting McGregor (21-4) at 3:03 of the fourth round via rear-naked choke. Immediately after the bout, Nurmagomedov jumped over the Octagon and got involved in a fight with Dillon Danis, a Bellator welterweight who also is McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach.
Moments later, two men jumped into the Octagon and began throwing punches at McGregor, who was still recovering from the contest.
White said he had spoken afterward with McGregor, who told White that he would not press charges. White said authorities had released the three members of Nurmagomedov’s team late Saturday night.
Still, White told ESPN that it was “a very bad night” for the UFC and that Nurmagomedov could earn a suspension.
“Khabib diving over [the cage] was ridiculous,” White said. “You know, you just won a great fight, you fought brilliantly, you’re about to get the belt on and people are going to respect the fact that you fought well and you won the fight. And instead, you dive over the cage and start this huge melee with Conor’s corner.
