McGregor and Khabib cop first suspensions over crazy brawl
The Nevada Athletic Commission (NSAC) isn’t happy with Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Due to their actions during UFC 229, both McGregor and Nurmagomedov will receive 10-day suspensions from the NSAC.
Those suspensions could go even longer depending on the organisation’s investigation, according to Ariel Helwani of ESPN.
The 10-day suspensions will begin Oct. 15.
The NSAC plans to vote at a hearing Oct. 24 to determine whether McGregor and Nurmagomedov will be suspended indefinitely.
Both men are under investigation after a brawl broke out following their fight at UFC 229.
After defeating McGregor, Nurmagomedov jumped out of the octagon to attack one of McGregor’s teammates.
McGregor threw punches at a member of Nurmagomedov’s team as well.
The NSAC is withholding Nurmagomedov’s $2 million paycheck for his actions following the win. McGregor has already been paid.
