Khabib Nurmagomedov went for Dillon Danis after beating Conor McGregor (Picture: Getty Images) Ever since the wild brawl that took place after the main event of UFC 229 on Saturday, there has been debate and confusion over what actually triggered it
Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor in the fourth round of their UFC lightweight title fight then vaulted the cage to attack McGregor's teammate Dillon Danis
Was this just because of a build up of animosity from months of bad blood, or had Danis said something at that moment or during the fight to cause Khabib to lose control? Unsurprisingly, those involved have very different opinions about what was said in the moment
Danis was in McGregor's corner for the fight (Picture: Getty Images) TMZ reported that a ringside witness heard Danis call Khabib a 'f**king Muslim rat'
Khabib himself told Russian outlet Kommersant, reported by RT: 'There were journalists standing around him, they all heard it and wrote about it

I don't want to repeat it, I can't.' However, Danis completely refutes these allegations, denying saying any such thing

'I have never and would never denigrate anyone's religion. I look forward to the results of the Nevada State Athletic Commission investigation which will reject this bullshit claim and put the blame where it belongs

Kavanagh told Joe Rogan on his podcast: 'He actually didn't say anything. 'Now I was standing beside Dylan, I didn't see what he did but I could hear
So he didn't say anything. 'Now maybe, there was something else in the lead up. Dillon is a bit of a troll online, so there's probably a build up of other stuff
Like I said, it wasn't that big of a deal to me, what Khabib did, it just really wasn't
