Not long after he jumped over the cage at UFC 229 in an unprovoked attack, Zubaira Tukhugov, a member of Khabib Nurmagomedov's team, bragged about attacking Conor McGregor.
As you can see in footage below, Tukhugov jumped the cage and started swinging at McGregor, who had previously threw serious shade at the 27-year old on Instagram.
The Chechen man was very smug about what went down, boasting about his sucker punch attack on McGregor.

"I slapped him as promised. I promised to make him answer for his words and I did," Tukhugov said in a video post on social media, according to the translation of journalist Karim Zidan.
Those words he's referring to are of course Conor's comments on Instagram and Tukhugov, who has fought four times in UFC had been very vocal about wanting to get revenge.
"If you are a man - if you're a Chechen man, American man, Ireland man - you tell him [to his face]," he told MMA Fighting, via Bloody Elbow, in an interview last week.

"'No put Instagram. No message.' 10,000 kilometers, in Ireland or America, put up Instagram, message, shit? This is no problem. After fight with Lobov, okay, tell me to my face.
"I want to fight outside. No cage, outside, after Lobov. I tell him. And after my fight, I show him.
Footage of Tukhugov's attack has been widespread on social media in the past few days, and now a new angle has emerged, showing how McGregor had no chance of defending himself.
