Nurmagomedov, 30, defeated McGregor in October in the fourth round. Immediately afterwards, violence spread to the outside of the Octagon. Nurmagomedov, McGregor and their relatives were then suspended and fined for their roles in the scrum by the Nevada State Sports Commission (NSAC).

After submitting McGregor, Nurmagomedov had a verbal exchange with McGregor's mailmen, then climbed over the cage and took a leap forward toward them. Nurmagomedov and Dillon Danis, a McGregor teammate, mutilated as security attempted to break the scene.

Back in the cage, McGregor saw what was happening and ran in the direction of Nurmagomedov and jumped on top of the cage. McGregor met with Abubakar Nurmagomedov – one of Khabib's teammates whom McGregor mistakenly called Khabib's brother – who was also trying to join the fight outside the Octagon.

"I saw it there, it was like a Christmas present," McGregor said. "He was right there, I just hit him in the eye socket, we started fighting at the top of the cage, it was broken."

Once down from the top of the cage, McGregor says that he placed his back against the fence in order to detect any potential danger. McGregor said at that time that he did not know who the security was and who was there trying to hit him.

"What happened is that two of his teammates ran and jumped [the cage], "Says McGregor. Just behind me. For me, with my state of mind, it was fascinating for me to look back. Because I arrived in a safe place, I was good. I arrived at a place where I was aware. I could see any imminent threat and deal with it. They came right on my back. Just on my back. "

The two Nurmagomedov teammates McGregor referred to were Zubaira Tukhugov, who had punched McGregor, and Esedulla Emiragaev, who had been punched on McGregor's head from behind. The security agents and the commission separated the men.

Then Abubakar Nurmagomedov and McGregor started again.

"The last one was the original brother who was at the top of the cage," McGregor said. "He was released from the security, ran 100 miles an hour to me.He threw a right hand.As he threw out his right hand, I threw a left hand.Boom.He There is an image, an aerial image of the right hand I just flogged my face and my left hand just landed The last shot of the night So here it is, I win.

McGregor, 30, has not fought in the UFC since this fight. He was suspended for six months, retroactive to the day of the fight, and fined $ 50,000 by the Nevada commission.

The NSAC suspended Khabib Nurmagomedov for nine months and fined him $ 500,000. Nurmagomedov is expected to return in September and defend his title against interim champion Dustin Poirier.

There is no schedule for McGregor's return, and he told Robbins that he wanted "what I deserve" from the UFC: return to the octagon.

"I just want what I'm worth," he told Robbins. "There's a lot of politics in the game." The fighting game is full of sharks, but I'm the fierce whale, so I want what's mine, and that's what I'm going to get: what I deserve."
