Two-division UFC champ Daniel Cormier ’s first reaction when Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped over the cage at UFC 229 was to help out with his fists. Then, he arrived on-scene at the brawl and had a moment of clarity. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute, what…am I thinking?’” Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) told reporters, including MMAjunkie, during a Friday media day ahead of UFC 230 title defense against Derrick Lewis (20-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC). As pandemonium swept over the octagon in the moments after the Oct. 6 pay-per-view event, Cormier watched as Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) fought Conor McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) teammate Dillon Dannis (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA). He saw Zubaira Tukhugov (18-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) take a swing at McGregor, who had taken a swing at another teammate of Nurmagomedov
