Khabib vaults cage again to celebrate submitting Poirier to become undisputed champ at UFC 242
Khabib Nurmagomedov vaulted the octagon in a move reminiscent of his infamous jump after beating Conor McGregor, this time in joyous celebration at submitting Dutin Poirier in the third round of UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Khabib added Poirier's the interim title to his UFC lightweight championship at The Arena on YAS Island, and then darted for the top of the cage.
This time, he made his way over under much happier circumstances than after his October 2018 win over Conor McGregor at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The Dagestan native, instead of looking to fight a member of the opposing team, jumped out of the cage and hugged UFC head honcho Dana White.
