It appears the fallout from UFC 229 is far from over.

UFC 229 was an historic event featuring two of the best mixed martial artists to ever compete inside the UFC’s Octagon. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor developed their fair share of bad blood in the lead up to their fateful encounter at what was billed as the biggest fight in UFC history.

While he may have been victorious, Khabib Nurmagomedov still wasn’t satisfied with a victory over his rival and took to charging at Conor McGregor’s camp. A massive melee ensued outside the cage as well as inside as Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammates fought with Conor McGregor inside the Octagon.

Suffice it to say, the UFC and Nevada State Athletic Commission was less than thrilled.

Since then, Khabib Nurmagomedov has seen his fight purse withheld and his teammates’ UFC contracts subsequently scrapped. But the UFC Lightweight champion isn’t taking the treatment lying down and has since issued a scathing statement to the leading MMA promotion.

I would like to address @ufc Why didn’t you fire anyone when their team attacked the bus and injured a couple of people? They could have killed someone there, why no one says anything about insulting my homeland, religion, nation, family? Why do you have to punish my team, when both teams fought. If you say that I started it, then I do not agree, I finished what he had started. In any case, punish me, @zubairatukhugov has nothing to do with that. If you think that I’ll keep silent then you are mistaken. You canceled Zubaira’s fight and you want to dismiss him just because he hit Conor. But don’t forget that it was Conor who had hit my another Brother FIRST, just check the video. if you decide to fire him, you should know that you’ll lose me too. We never give up on our brothers in Russia and I will go to the end for my Brother. If you still decide to fire him, don’t forget to send me my broken contract, otherwise I’ll break it myself. And one more thing, you can keep my money that you are withholding. You are pretty busy with that, I hope it won’t 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
