A huge melee broke out at the start of Saturday's pay-per-view main card at Madison Square Garden between members of Khabib Nurmagomedov's team and Danis. Punches were flying in a chaotic scene, which caused security and police officers to intervene. As a result, Danis was escorted out of the arena.
