New footage suggests Conor McGregor may have thrown the first punch in the chaotic brawl which broke out after his UFC defeat to Khabib Nurmagodemov on Saturday night. Furious UFC president Dana White said: 'A lot of bad stuff happened after the fight, a lot that shouldn't happen. Former UFC lightweight champion of the world Rafael dos Anjos was less than impressed by Nurmagomedov and his team, calling their actions 'unacceptable'. McGregor and Nurmagomedov had almost started their fight 24 hours early as tensions boiled over at Friday evening's weigh-in. UFC 229 saw the undefeated Nurmagomedov attempt to defend his lightweight crown for the first time having beaten Al Iaquinta to lift the belt at UFC 223.
