At OCTAGON 75, the fire between the fighters even got the cornermen wrapped up in it. And for a moment, fans thought Conor McGregor was somehow involved! So, what exactly happened?  At the Central Asian MMA promotion event, Zhamoliddin Rakhmonzhonov (6-1) made a statement with a thunderous first-round knockout. But the real drama began after the fight was over.

Moments after his victory, Rakhmonzhonov found himself shoved against the cage not by his opponent but by an opposing cornerman. The attacker appeared to go for a takedown as if he was trying to rewrite the result himself. Rakhmonzhonov was caught off guard but composed himself and defended well. Then things escalated.

A member of Rakhmonzhonov’s team charged in and landed what looked like a knee to the attacker’s head. Security scrambled to separate the chaos before it turned into a full-on corner vs. corner brawl. The entire scene was captured on video and shared by ‘Haymakers’ on Instagram.

And if that sounds oddly familiar, well, that’s because the MMA world has seen this kind of unscripted drama before. Just last month, Luis Hernandez clashed with Sean Strickland’s camp at Tuff-N-Uff in Las Vegas.

But the main confusion for the fans seemingly came from the caption of the video shared by the ‘Haymaker’s account as we now shift our focus to how the netizens reacted to the chaos that unfolded on their screens!
