UFC boss Dana White REFUSED to give Khabib Nurmagomedov the lightweight belt following his chaotic win over Conor McGregor.
The 30-year-old Russian beat the Irishman with a rear naked chose, but it was the scenes after the fight that will make the headlines.
Khabib jumped out of the Octagon after making McGregor tap, and started brawling with members of the crowd.
One of his team then sucker-punched McGregor, and all hell broke lose in the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.
There have now been calls for him to be stripped of the title, and given a lengthy suspension from the UFC.
He could also face criminal charges after the shocking scenes, and may even have his visa revoked, according to legend Michael Bisping.
White said: "A lot of bad stuff, that should not have happened. All hell broke lose. I'm disgusted. I met with Conor and he's OK, he's upset about the fight.
"Three of his guys have been arrested and taken to jail. They made it clear the rivalry would not be over after the fight.
"I did not see that coming. We had so much security. God knows what is going to happen to Khabib.
"There is going to be a lot of repercussions."
It was one of the most astonishing ends to any sporting event, with the crowd fighting between themselves as well.
There are now fears the trouble could spill out onto the Las Vegas streets between Russian and Irish fans.
Khabib was excellent during the bout, smothering all of McGregor's work then finishing him in the fourth.
