A serious incident occurred before the main event at the UFC 322 tournament. American fighter Dillon Danis caused a mass brawl with members of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev's team.
Idman.Biz reports that along with Danis, former UFC fighter Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zeyunukov were also reportedly at the center of the confrontation. Security personnel immediately intervened to separate the parties, and then UFC's business development director Hunter Campbell tried to calm the situation.
This is not Danis' first scandal. It is worth remembering that Denis was also at the forefront of the famous mass brawl that occurred in 2018 after Conor McGregor lost to Khabib. At that time, Khabib jumped out of the cage and attacked Danis, and then the fight spread to the stands. At that time, Denis was one of McGregor's main sparring partners and grappling coaches.
It is reported that this incident is a continuation of the old tension between the parties.
