Khabib could face criminal charges and never get a USA visa again, says former UFC champion Michael Bisping
Russian fighter jumped out of cage to attack Dillon Danis after his victory over Conor McGregor
KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV faces criminal charges for his post-fight actions at UFC 229, according to former champion Michael Bisping.
The Russian fighter beat Conor McGregor in the main event in Las Vegas before losing his cool and sparking a post-fight brawl.
Khabib jumped out of the octagon and attacked Dillon Danis as chaos broke out at T-Mobile Arena.
Two of Khabib's team members also attacked McGregor in the cage after the fight, which the Russian won in the fourth round.
British fighter Bisping, who was part of the Fox Sports punditry team in the US, thinks there could be severe consequences for Khabib.
He said on the post-fight show: "You can't jump out of a cage and assault people.
"That is a criminal charge and visas aren't given to criminals."
UFC chief Dana White confirmed that three of Khabib's team had been taken to jail in Nevada.

White said: "Khabib jumped the cage and went after one of Conor's guys who was talking trash to him and all hell broke loose.
"I'm just disgusted and sick over it.
"Three of his (Khabib) guys have been arrested and have been taken to jail.
"There are going to be charges filed against them I'm sure and god knows what the Nevada State Athletic Commission are going to do with Khabib.
"Are these guys ever going to get visas again? There are a lot of repercussions from what they did tonight, ones that they don't even realise yet."
