UFC: Khabib Nurmagomedov expresses his feelings

In a Q&A session with fans, Khabib Nurmagomedov revealed that he was having mixed emotions after being declared the winner of the fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 229. The Irish superstar took a lot of cheap shots at Nurmagomedov during the entire promotion of the fight. McGregor insulted Khabib’s race, country, family throughout the pre-fight session and the Dagestani was clearly furious even after winning the fight, which made him jump off the cage and attack Conor McGregor's teammate, Dillon Danis.

The UFC lightweight champion said that he was being guarded by 300 security personnel after the fight, when Russian President Vladimir Putin called him up to know his condition and Nurmagomedov replied back by saying that he was in the facilities under the stands. He also told the Russian President that 300 guards were surrounding him. Nurmagomedov was not even given his title in front of the audience in the UFC Octagon. Khabib Nurmagomedov was clearly upset about that but could not do anything.
