Eye witness of infamous UFC 229 melee sends dire warning about Conor McGregor's rumored involvement in PFL fight

An eyewitness to the chaotic UFC 229 post-fight brawl has voiced concerns about Conor McGregor's rumored involvement in a future PFL fight. The witness recalls the violent aftermath of McGregor's loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor submitted to Nurmagomedov's choke in the fourth round of their 2018 bout, only for chaos to erupt as 'The Eagle' leaped into the crowd to confront McGregor’s team. The incident, marred by brawls inside and outside the octagon, saw Irish and Dagestani fans clashing violently.

Now, with rumors circulating about McGregor supporting Irish fighter Paul Hughes in a potential bout against Khabib’s cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov, fears of a repeat of UFC 229’s chaos loom. A witness of the infamous event stated:

"I was in the T-Mobile arena for Khabib-McGregor. The Dagestani fans beat the absolute piss out of the Irish fans. The security would be for our safety."

Dana White has an update on Conor McGregor’s highly anticipated UFC return

Conor McGregor hasn’t stepped into the octagon since July 2021, following a leg injury at UFC 264. While fans eagerly anticipated his return at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler in June, a toe injury dashed those hopes. UFC CEO Dana White has now provided an update on McGregor’s highly-awaited comeback.

Speaking on the Outta Pocket podcast with Robert Griffin III, White said:

"He's fighting with everybody right now, but he's not fighting anybody right now. I've said this a lot and, you know, Conor has gotten into a position where he's made so much money and he has all these businesses that continue to make him a lot of money - it's tough to get up and fight when you're in the position that he's in, but I do believe that Conor Mcgregor will fight in 2025."
