— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Ferguson says he and Khabib deserve to fight. "Conor doesn't want to fight me. Nobody wants to be trapped in the cage with me. They want to be animals, I'm the dog catcher."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Ferguson doesn't think Pettis is a quitter. Says he was happy to battle adversity. "I do so well under chaos." Says he'll go up to 170 and clean out that division as well.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"We learned Conor is human." Says Khabib and Conor don't like to get bloody. Says you can't prepare for a fighter like him.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Ferguson says he was offered a finish bonus, not a win bonus, which is why is win bonus is only $5K.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Ferguson ends by putting over his suit game. He was all over the place, but it was certainly entertaining.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana White up now. This should be something.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"I saw one of Conor's guys talking to Khabib and Khabib went after him. Two of Khabib's guys got into the Octagon and hit Conor with some shots from behind" - Dana. Says NSAC are investigating the footage. Khabib's purse has been withheld.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana didn't want to put belt on Khabib because people would be throwing stuff.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says Conor refused to press charges. The 3 members from Khabib's team that were arrested were released because Conor didn't press charges.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says the guys involved won't fight in the UFC. No word on Khabib's status.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana credits security for containing the brawl.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"This isn't the last time guys are going to say mean things to each other." Dana isn't really pressed on using the bus footage leading to the brawl.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"The biggest night ever. And I couldn't be more disappointed." - Dana.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana now pressed on the bus footage. Says he doesn't regret using the footage. "It's part of the story."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says Conor was more disappointed about the result of the fight than the aftermath. Says he hasn't talked to Khabib. Credits Cormier and Rockhold for calming the situation.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"It's definitely not a good thing. Maybe I'm taking this harder than I should. This is not what we're about." Basically says Red Sox/Yankees games are worse.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana doesn't think punishing Conor for the bus incident would have stopped the hatred between the camps. "It's so much bigger than that. This is street shit. Not sport."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"A suspension may have pissed him off even more because he wanted to fight Conor so bad" - Dana

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says it's not 100% certain that Khabib won't be stripped. "The NCSAC is going to go after him hard. The governor was here. He went running out of the building."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana doesn't know what's next for anyone. Says he's not thinking about that stuff or the PPVs buys. Bigger things to worry about.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says this is still one of the biggest moments of his career. But isn't feeling good. "We should be celebrating."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"If they give him a really light punishment, then we'll go from there." Dana says he'll let the NSAC take the lead.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says the brawl had nothing to do with Conor. "You didn't see him running and attacking Conor." dana says there is trash talking in every sport. "It's part of the game. That's never going to change." Says you can't tell someone what they can and can't say.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says there's nothing more the UFC could have done to prevent a situation like this. Says they had a ton of security and had meetings with both camps. "We went above and beyond to make sure this didn't happen. And it happened."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana is over this whole thing, saying he's already answered these questions. Unsure if Khabib will be stripped of title. "If he gets suspended, we'll see how long the suspension is."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"It's really disgusting and disappointing for me" - Dana

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"What Khabib should have done is pick Conor up, hug him, whatever." - Dana

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana says Khabib did a lot of damage to his image. Expects Khabib's suspension to "be ugly." Calls it 1, 2, and 3 craziest moments of his career.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"We'll see what happens" - Dana on Khabib/McGregor 2. Unsure of what he'll do if Khabib's visa is suspended.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Dana didn't know Derrick Lewis took his shorts off. "I wish that was the craziest thing that happened tonight."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

"The last thing I'm going to do it put these two camps together. It's deeper than that." - Dana

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Khabib up now. He begins by apologizing to the NSAC. "He talked about my religion, country, father. He came to Brooklyn and broke bus. Why people talk about my jumping on the cage?"

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Khabib says this is a respectful sport, not a trash talking sport. "You cannot talk about religion and nation."

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

Khabib says Putin called him and was proud of him.

— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) October 7, 2018

And that's a wrap for Khabib. Doesn't take any questions.
