This New Angle Shows The Real Reason Khabib Jumped The Cage And Attacked Conor McGregor’s Corner

I really thought that today might be the day that people stopped banging on about Khabib and Conor McGregor, but no – more information has emerged that might finally settle once and for all why Khabib jumped over the cage and attacked Conor’s corner.

Previously the blame has been put on Conor’s cornerman Dillon Danis trash talking and insulting Khabib when he came over to shout at them after making Conor tap, but this new angle puts the potential blame on one of Khabib’s teammates Dominance MMA managing partner Rizvan Magomedov. He was one of the first people walking into the cage to congratulate Khabib, but knocked past Dillon and kept tapping him on the shoulder, obviously mocking Conor for tapping out in the cage.

This led to some kind of slagging match between the two of them, and when Khabib saw this he went absolutely ballistic:

Seems to put things in a bit more context, I guess you can’t really tell what kind of adrenaline you’re running on after you’ve won a fight can you? Still, probably no excuse to jump the cage and legitimately attack someone is it? Hopefully this is the last we’ve heard of this until a verdict is meted out by the NSAC, but I seriously doubt that will be the case, don’t you?
