There was some pre-existing animosity between the pair and UFC commentator Joe Rogan claimed Danis had been insulting Nurmagomedov during his bout.
While most humans would have reeled and peeled away, Danis' reaction was as ballsy as one is like to see.
As the clip below will show, after initially getting knocked back, Danis sprung back and started to wade into Nurmagomedov. He connected with a couple of blows and the Dagestani was forced back himself before being pulled from the scene.
After trading a few blows, with Nurmagomedov and a few of his entourage, Danis was hauled away from the scene.
He was being held back by several security officials as some of Nurmagomedov's team entered The Octagon to assault McGregor. There were three arrests in the venue but all three men were released as the Dubliner did not wish to press charges.

It remains to be seen what sanctions the Nevada State Athletic Commission will hit Nurmagomedov with but this one could be a fight for 2019.Former UFC fighter shot dead while out for evening walk
