Amid the chaos, and in protecting McGregor, Kavanagh has confirmed he took a punch too. He told Ariel Helwani:
"I looked back in the cage and I saw Conor being hit too. And I saw security in there but they didn't seem to be quite on top of that, so I pulled people apart and kind of separated them. And then it was pretty much over, so that's all that I saw...
"I got one [punch] but it was nothing, nothing... I've been hit a lot harder. Nothing too bad."
As for his take on the fracas, Kavanagh likened Nurmagomedov's initial jump over the fence to McGregor's in 2014, when he confronted José Aldo in Boston after defeating Dennis Siver.
"What I do hold ill will towards is the guy who punched Conor in the back of the head," he said. "It was a really cheap move, and a dangerous move."World Cup 2026 prize money: The staggering amount the winners can earn revealed
