UFC 229: McGregor vs Khabib

**Emperor Smeat** · 01-29-2019, 11:08 PM

Nevada Commission finally got around to handing out punishments for the post-show brawl.

Nurmagomedov got a 9 month suspension with a retroactive start of October 2018 and the ability to appeal for a 6 month suspension if he agrees to film an anti-bullying PSA video. Was also given a $500k fine.

His stable mates Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Zubaira Tukhugov were hit with 1 year suspensions and $25k fines each. ESPN reported Khabib isn't expected to fight again till their suspensions are over which could put the UFC Lightweight title on hold for a year.

McGregor got hit with a 6 month suspension with a similar retroactive start but no appeal allowed. Also got fined $50k and warned if he pulls any similar pre-fight antics in the future, he will get fined for them.
