After defeating Dustin Poirier, Khabib Nurmagomedov not only celebrated his victory in the UFC 242 octagon, but also outside of it. Just like against Conor McGregor, the Russian jumped out of the cage in Abu Dhabi.
However, it was not to continue a fight, but to hug his family who came to see him at The Arena in Abu Dhabi. "I want to thank my father, my team, my brothers, and uncles who are here," said the Russian.

As it is recalled, Khabib Nurmagomedov was absent for almost a year after being involved in a brawl against Conor McGregor. That time, the incident happened in Las Vegas.
