Nurmagomedov says Danis brawl at UFC 322 should have been worse

At UFC 322 Dillon Danis was involved in a ringside brawl and has reportedly been barred from attending future UFC events.

Bantamweight contender Umar Nurmagomedov, who was in attendance, told media he felt the response to Danis was insufficient and that harsher consequences were deserved.

Nurmagomedov said Danis’ taunting of members of Islam Makhachev’s team prompted the confrontation and suggested more serious injuries would have been fitting, according to reports.

Danis subsequently withdrew from a scheduled fight, reportedly citing a concussion from the incident and postponing legal proceedings tied to the episode.

The comments signal ongoing hostility between Team Nurmagomedov and Danis and suggest the matter is unlikely to die down soon.
