The impressive triumph was marred by Khabib's lack of grace in victory, however. Rather than leaving the bad-blood between himself and McGregor behind in the ring, the 30-year-old allowed it to spill over to the fight's aftermath.
Like a man possessed, the fighter leapt over the cage and into McGregor's corner, causing disturbing scenes ringside. As a result of his indiscretion, he saw his €3 million payday withheld by the Las Vegas NSAC and the possibility also arose that he may have his belt stripped from him in the aftermath.
The folk of Russia, the folk of Dagestan won't hold that against him though. Khabib returned home on Monday night and his people gave him some reception. A football stadium was packed out in Dagestan, with those present invading the pitch the moment the champion stepped on stage.

And he got his hands on that belt over there too.
