Just after the main event of UFC 229 ended, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammate Zubaira Tukhugov jumped inside the cage and attacked Conor McGregor. Khabib was busy feuding outside the octagon with Conor’s teammates. Initially, it seemed as if Zubaira hurt Conor McGregor. However, according to the new video clip, it was Conor who successfully planted a left hook on Zubaira Tukhugov.

In the past, Zubaira had proudly talked about his UFC 229 actions and did not seem ‘sorry’ for attacking Conor McGregor. UFC president Dana White also slammed Zubaira for creating a brawl at a mega event like UFC 229. However, Tukhugov was least bothered about it as he went on to boast about his actions through a video clip.
