UFC 229 featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor took place Saturday, Oct. 6 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event was filled with incredible finishes and impressive performances, but what really stole the show was the madness following the main event where Nurmagomedov retained his UFC lightweight championship.
After forcing McGregor to tap out in Round 4 of their title fight, Nurmagomedov jumped over the cage and immediately attempted to get his hands on McGregor teammate Dillon Danis which sparked an all-out brawl in the crowd.
Then, two Khabib teammates jumped into the cage to get some shots at McGregor.
But the post-main event shenanigans didn’t end there. As you might expect, tensions were still running high — with plenty of alcohol-fueled encouragement — and fights were breaking out in the crowd and in the T-Mobile Arena concourse. For one McGregor fan, that led to being on the wrong end of a devastating knockout.
A fight can be seen breaking out between a group of people before one poor bloke snaps to the ground and lays unconscious. WARNING: Graphic content may be troubling to some readers.

Another angle of the knockout appears to show the McGregor fan spitting in the direction of another group of men before he is sent into another dimension. Spitting on another human is never a good idea.

But while that may be the most brutal knockout of the weekend, it’s tough to top the purse-swinging fans from the Nurmagomedov-McGregor weigh-ins.
