Here is the full Nurmagomedov statement from Instagram from his English translation. He also posted a version in Russian:

I would like to address @UFC. Why didn’t you fire anyone when their team attacked the bus and injured a couple of people? They could have killed someone there, why no one says anything about insulting my homeland, religion, nation, family?

Why do you have to punish my team, when both teams fought. If you say that I started it, then I do not agree, I finished what he had started.

In any case, punish me, @zubairatukhugov has nothing to do with that. If you think that I’ll keep silent then you are mistaken. You canceled Zubaira’s fight and you want to dismiss him just because he hit Conor. But don’t forget that it was Conor who had hit my another Brother FIRST, just check the video.

if you decide to fire him, you should know that you’ll lose me too. We never give up on our brothers in Russia and I will go to the end for my Brother. If you still decide to fire him, don’t forget to send me my broken contract, otherwise I’ll break it myself.

And one more thing, you can keep my money that you are withholding. You are pretty busy with that, I hope it won’t get stuck in your throat. We have defended our honor and this is the most important thing. We intend to go to the end.
#Brothers
 
When keeping it real goes wrong.

Khabib has a lot of power on his side now, wouldn't be surprised if UFC bows down to him, but I expect the worst.

^^^ the Athletic Com. has his money locked, not the UFC as far as I know. They are also the ones issuing punishments even if Dana changes his mind about firing them.
 
If he goes to bellator who knows what will happen lol.. Ufc gonna die out after dc is gone most watched fighters are in there 30s or older now so bellator would take over and inc pay to fighters they all will want to be in bellator.
 
Conor will call his son Dana and have this all figured out.

Khabib is playing it smart. I respect now even more than ever. As long as Khabib is undefeated and has a decisive victory over Conor , he's got the juice now.

Fuck that pink goof

Dana won't release him, if Khabib tries to fight anywhere else he'd be sued, and that promotion would be sued. It's happened before.....Dana owns Khabib until that contract is up.
