Apparently, Khamzat was angry Abubakar once warned him to “be careful” in a social media post for criticizing Khabib.

Dana White heard about the cageside scuffle and didn’t think it was a big deal.

Dana is asked about Khamzat scuffling with abubakar nurmagomedov and says "thats what we do here, its a tough business"
