Fights break out between the taunting, before one of the Irish fans is viciously knocked out with a single punch.
Thousands of fans made the trek across the Atlantic to support McGregor as he made his comeback after a two-year hiatus from the sport.
In Sunday's (NZ time) main event, Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor with a fourth-round submission before leaping outside of the Octagon and brawling with the Irishman's teammates, while McGregor fought with other members of the Russian's team inside it.
Three members of Nurmagomedov 's team were arrested for their part in the mayhem, then later released after McGregor declined to press charges.
UFC president Dana White said he was "disgusted" and "sick" over the incident and that further sanctions would be forthcoming.
