00:16Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life, and over the weekend, UFC 229 took an unexpected turn
00:22when Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped out of the octagon and attacked Conor McGregor's team.
00:27But first, let's talk about former Boston Celtics point guard Paul Pierce, who got into
00:32a minor dispute with a security guard while in attendance.
00:35TMZ reports that Paul failed to produce a ticket when trying to return to his seat, and
00:39the security guard wouldn't let him back in.
00:41The two exchanged some fighting words and got in each other's faces with the guard putting
00:46his hands on Pierce at one point to stop him from walking in.
00:50Before being separated by staff, Paul Pierce was heard calling the guard a racist for his
00:55behavior.
00:55Moving on to the actual fight, the match between Conor and Khabib ended in the fourth round
01:00when the Irishman tapped out.
01:03Khabib's victory was quickly overshadowed by the attack that followed.
01:07Khabib hopped over the cage to fight Conor's jiu-jitsu coach, Dylan Danis, but the scuffle
01:12was quickly broken up by police.
01:14However, the guys from Khabib's team rushed the octagon and attacked McGregor.
01:19TMZ's reporting that three members of Khabib's team were arrested after the fight, but soon
01:24released when McGregor decided to not press charges.
01:27But okay, Khabib has since apologized for his behavior in a press conference saying that
01:31he is just a human being and what we saw in the incident was not his best side.
01:36Yeah.
01:37No.
01:37Khabib goes on to question why people aren't mentioning what Conor's side did to provoke
01:42Khabib.

02:03Why people still talk about this?
02:05UFC president Dana White also spoke about the chaos saying that both fighters are in big trouble.
02:11White said in an interview that paychecks for Khabib and Conor are being held until an
02:15investigation with the Nevada Athletic Commission is complete.
02:19The fighters could face big fines and even lose their ability to travel back into the U.S.
02:25Conor McGregor did not do any media after the fight, but took to Instagram reacting to his
02:29loss saying,
