Khabib Nurmagomedov shares insight into the Khamzat Chimaev - Abubakar Nurmagomedov scuffle

Khabib Nurmagomedov was instrumental to building the bridges between Khamzat Chimaev and Abubakar Nurmagomedov. However, the UFC Hall of Famer seemed disappointed that the incident escalated into a physical altercation. "What happened yesterday does not show us well. Neither me nor Khamzat nor Abubakar. To tell the truth, we are tired of this nonsense. Here we are gathered as brothers, talked to each other, and we apologized to each other, hugged and inshallah I hope that in the future that we will only gather and fight for good reasons. That was today." The Dagestani UFC legend also extended his endorsement to Khamzat Chimaev: "Islam won the belt at first. The next one, very close, is going to be Khamzat. Khamzat, let us all get together so when Khamzat wins the belt, it's not for the showing off, not for this conversation that we are going to celebrate. We will celebrate for our new champion, inshallah... I hope that this is our sad moment that it will never happen to anyone else."
