Conor McGregor says he is ready to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov again despite violent scenes in Las Vegas after the Russian had defeated the Irishman on Saturday. McGregor's mixed martial arts return after a near two-year hiatus fell flat as he tapped out midway through the fourth round at UFC 229, and Nurmagomedov soured a career-best performance with his actions immediately afterwards.

The Russian, whose victory meant he retained his lightweight title, threw his gumshield, vaulted the cage and attacked someone from McGregor's camp. While that was happening, McGregor was set upon and attacked by at least two men who entered the cage as the bad blood between the camps came to a head. But the Irishman seemed unfazed by all that as he tweeted: "Good knock. Looking forward to the rematch."
