New Footage Shows a Conor McGregor Fan Entered the Octagon at UFC 229 and Went Totally Unnoticed During the Brawl By Security as He Tried to Defuse the Situation…
Fight fans watching UFC 229 got more bang for their buck than they might have expected when Khabib Nurmagamedov attacked Dillon Danis, This happened after he submitted Conor McGregor in a dominant display in the night’s main event.
Danis reacted to Khabib’s representative Rizvan Magomedov, who was antagonizing the New York fighter. It all kicked off from there and the brawl swiftly escalated, with Conor McGregor attacked by two of Khabib’s teammates in the octagon. It was all very messy and condemned by the UFC.
Now new footage reveals how an Irish fan entered the octagon as he tried to help defuse the situation. He slipped past security as he tried to help end the fight – risking getting banned from the T-Mobile Arena and getting whacked by security or Khabib’s rampaging teammates. Check it out below.

Crazy Story
Daniel Cormier described exactly what happened in an interview with Ariel Helwani. He explained:
“This is the craziest story. There’s a guy behind me, he’s wearing this nice jacket. (Something) McGregor. So he’s standing behind me and he goes, ‘Who do you got in the fight?’ This guy’s completely not into the game, right? So I go, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna go Khabib.’ So after the fight, when we all jumped the rail, I’m like in the Octagon pushing, and the guy’s like checking on Conor.
He was like a fan, he was just like a fan that jumped the rail when everyone else jumped the rail and got all the way to the Octagon – he was like checking on Conor. I (later) asked my wife, “Salina, what happened with that guy, was he we with McGregor?’ She goes, ‘Daniel, after he went and checked to make sure Conor was OK he just got back in his seat.’ I swear to God. He just climbed the rail and got back in his seat. I was like, ‘What in the world just happened!? What in the world just happened!?’ It was crazy. How did this dude end up in the Octagon, and then he checked to make sure Conor was OK and then he went back and sat down. “

When One of Us Goes to War…
David Martin lives in the United States but is originally from Ireland. As a huge fan of Conor McGregor, it was a fantastic experience to watch him fight live. That’s why he felt compelled to intervene when McGregor was attacked in the octagon.
Maybe because of his accent and the fact that he’s dressed in such a slick way, he managed to slip by security – who were otherwise distracted – and get into the octagon. Then after ‘checking on Conor’ he walked unimpeded back to his seat. Mad man.
Recovery
Since losing to Khabib, Conor McGregor really doesn’t seem that fazed. He’s just been to Texas where he was promoting his new whiskey at an American football match and looks set to continue traveling around the States.
Meanwhile, there’s a lot of speculation about Khabib’s future and who he’ll fight next. As long as it’s not Floyd Mayweather, we’re happy.
