(UTV|COLOMBO) – Defeated Conor McGregor says he is keen on a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov after his heavy defeat in Las Vegas on Sunday (07).
Ugly scenes marred the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight Title Fight at the T-Mobile Arena after Nurmagomedov jumped out of the Octagon to fight McGregor’s team-mate Dillon Danis following his submission win.
Things then took a turn for the worse when members of Khabib’s team climbed into the Octagon where McGregor was punched and attacked in scenes UFC Owner Dana White described as a ‘Disgrace.’
Security quickly broke up both melees and three men from Khabib’s corner were arrested, although McGregor opted not to press charges and they were released.
Good knock. Looking forward to the rematch.

Ignoring the post-fight controversy, McGregor took to Twitter after failing to speak at a schedule press conference, writing “Good knock. Looking forward to the rematch.”
He then posted on Instagram “I’ll be back” alongside an image of him inside the cage, putting to bed any notion that he could be retiring.
