Footage shows McGregor trading blows before being attacked from behind

Anarchy

Dana White confirmed that the Nevada Athletic State Commission are withholding Khabib Nurmagomedov's purse but not Conor McGregor's after the post-UFC 229 brawl. Three men were arrested from the T-Mobile Arena after scaling the Octagon after the UFC 229 main event and assaulted McGregor. The Dubliner was hit from the side and then behind as he recovered from defeat in Las Vegas but all three of his attackers have been released, with Dana White explaining that McGregor wouldn't press charges. Whilst Khabib threw himself into the crowd to make a break for Dillon Danis who was "talking shit" to him, McGregor was lit on in the Octagon. Two of Nurmagomedov's team jumped in and went at the Irish man but, just beforehand, McGregor was on top of the cage and he was trading blows. He was up on the fence. He then tried to get over, presumably to help his team. He was held back though. He was then joined on the fence and blows were traded. Then the guy in the black jumps the cage and he throws the first punch in the Octagon. Before another of Khabib's team joins in and he hits McGregor from behind. He is seen throwing a punch on top of the cage when he's joined up there as he's being dragged back down. Whilst he's in the Octagon though, standing his ground, he does not throw the first punch there. He reacts quickly to an attack before he's hit from behind. https://twitter.com/iamfhmeer/status/1048813120741945344
