Khabib Nurmagomedov surprised UFC President Dana White in the parking lot of T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas following his dominant performance against Edson Barboza on Saturday at UFC 219. Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC), who overwhelmed Barboza (19-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) for three rounds en route to a unanimous decision in the lightweight contender bout, wasn’t going to allow White to leave the final UFC event of the year without speaking to him first.
