Nobody can accuse Khabib Nurmagomedov of not being loyal.
Nurmagomedov threatened to leave UFC if the company dismissed his teammate, Zubaira Tukhugov. The UFC lightweight champion made the threat in an Instagram post Thursday, just days after beating Conor McGregor on Saturday night at UFC 229 in Las Vegas.
This is what Nurmagomedov has published:
I would like to address to @ufc. Why did not you fire someone when his team attacked the bus and injured two people? They could have killed someone there, why does not anyone say anything to insult my homeland, my religion, my nation, my family?
Why do you have to punish my team as both teams fought? If you say that I started, then I do not agree, I finished what he had started.
In any case, punish me, @zubairatukhugov has nothing to do with it. If you think I'm going to shut up, you're wrong. You canceled Zubaira's fight and you want to dismiss him just because he hit Conor. But do not forget that it's Conor who hit my first brother FIRST, just watch the video.
if you decide to fire him, know that you will also lose me. We never leave our brothers in Russia and I will go to the end for my brother. If you still decide to send it back, do not forget to send me the broken contract, otherwise I will break it myself.
And one more thing, you can keep my money you hold back. You are rather busy with it, I hope it will not get stuck in your throat. We have defended our honor and this is the most important thing. We intend to go to the end.
#Brothers
Nurmagomedov and McGregor are currently under investigation by the Nevada Sports Commission for their role in a fight after the fight on Saturday. Nurmagomedov cleared the cage after winning the fourth round by submission and attacked his McGregor team mate, Dillon Danis, causing a huge scrum in which punches were thrown both inside and out. 39, outside of the octagon.
Tukhugov, a UFC featherweight in Nurmagomedov's team, was involved in a brief exchange with McGregor. He had to face McGregor's teammate Artem Lobov in a UFC fight this month, but both sides confirmed to ESPN's Ariel Helwani that there was no more conflict.
It's fair to ask what the future holds after UFC President Dana White has threatened to cut ties with outside fighters involved in the chaos of UFC 229 But the threat of Nurmagomedov could change things, as his popularity has reached new heights in recent months thanks to his undefeated record (27-0), his title victory over Al Iaquinta at UFC 223 and his fierce rivalry with McGregor.
