“Viva Las Vegas baby the gaf always wins.
“Big stomper party in the Wynn coming soon!”
Nurmagomedov replied: “Money comes and goes, the honor that you lost that evening will never return, live with it.
“Finish career in mma, but start career on twitter?”
He ended the post with the hashtag "Twitterwarrior".
