You never heard Khabib Nurmagomedov use the F-word or the B-word during his UFC career – until now.
It happened immediately after Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in October 2018. On Monday, the UFC released new footage from the fight on the latest edition of “Muted” – a series looking back on fights without commentary, with audio from in the cage and cageside corners amplified – which shows the heated moment.
After McGregor tapped out to a neck crank and sat on the canvas staring up at Nurmagomedov, the then-lightweight champion was restrained by referee Herb Dean as he talked down to McGregor, yelling at him, “B*tch, I f*cked you up! I f*cked you up, b*tch!”
You can watch the new footage, as well as the entire episode, in the video above.
Not included, a few moments after securing the victory, Nurmagomedov threw his mouthpiece in the direction of McGregor’s cornermen and jumped the cage to attack Dillon Danis, inciting a wild brawl on the arena floor that spilled back into the cage.
It should come as no surprise how things ended between Nurmagomedov and McGregor given the very personal nature of the rivalry leading up to the fight. Still, this sheds more light on just how intense things were.
