Joe Rogan believes there is only one way to end MMA’s ugliest feud.

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov have been beefing with each other for a decade.

Things only got worse after they fought at UFC 229 in October 2018, because a post-fight brawl between their respective teams broke out immediately after Nurmagomedov won by submission.

The beef continued when Dillon Danis was attacked while sitting cageside at UFC 322 on Saturday night.

Joe Rogan reacts to UFC 322 crowd fight

Dillon Danis , who is Conor McGregor’s long-time training partner, is often blamed for the near-riot at UFC 229.

Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped over the Octagon to attack Danis after beating his bitter rival, McGregor.

Seven years later, members of the Russian legend’s entourage jumped Danis before Islam Makhachev’s welterweight title win over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322.

“They just f—ed Dillon Danis up this past weekend,” Joe Rogan said on his latest podcast.

“Did you see that? They don’t forget.

Rogan’s guest then asked what it would take for the McGregor vs Nurmagomedov beef to finally end.

“It would have to be in private, and he would have to really mean it,” the UFC commentator told Brian Simpson, who wondered if a simple apology would get the job done.

“And you’d have to convince Khabib that you really mean it, because he just doesn’t play that game.

“That talking s— to sell a fight, he doesn’t play that game.  

Why did Dillon Danis get jumped?

Islam Makhachev’s coach revealed what instigated the melee in the days after UFC 322.

Javier Mendez says Danis got a beating because he was making fun of the Muslim faith, which Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team take very seriously.

“That guy, when is he gonna grow up? What the hell is he doing?” the AKA founder and head coach told Submission Radio.

Who is the pound-for-pound best fighter in MMA?

“He was sitting in the fighter’s section and sitting where Team Khabib was to boot. I mean, come on, dude! You know you’re asking for trouble.

“Then they showed me videos of what he was showing, he was showing Ali [Abdelaziz] and Islam in a relationship-type embrace. Then he was doing things with a p— star and Islam embracing. And then he’s talking crap on other things.

“What do you expect when you do that? You go and sit with the guys, and you’re riling them up with big, huge disrespect.

“Stop picking on people’s religion, man. That’s what he was doing, he was making fun of it.”
