Khabib Nurmagomedov has come out in defence of Jorge Masvidal after Gamebred allegedly attacked Colby Covington on March 22.

Covington and Masvidal fought at UFC 272 and it was Chaos that came out on top. However, reports suggest that Masvidal attacked his former best friend in Miami recently.

Gamebred had vowed that their rivalry was not over after UFC 272, and well, Masvidal was detained by Miami police and then released on a $15,000 bond. 

Nurmagomedov, who has also seen his fair share of violence outside of the Octagon, thanks to Conor McGregor, shed some light on this incident.

The Eagle backed Masvidal’s actions since Covington had insulted Gamebred’s family. Nurmagomedov also wanted other Welterweights to stop fighting Covington, and that could teach Chaos a lesson.
