Last weekend’s event saw middleweights Derek Brunson and Kevin Holland headline the main event.
During the exciting clash, which eventually saw underdog Brunson claim a unanimous victory over Holland, Nurmagomedov was pictured streaming the event live to his Instagram followers, whilst being sat right next to president Dana White.

The funniest part of the incident was it was only recently that White announced a crackdown on individuals who stream live events illegally.
In response to the comical moment, MMA fans have reacted in hilarious fashion.

This is next level genius by Dana White. He’s letting Khabib stream the entire #UFCVegas22 main event. Now Dana will threaten to sue Khabib for everything he is worth unless he fights rematches McGregor. 3D chess move. pic.twitter.com/R5M5CAKAqm
