UFC has suspended both Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov for their part in the ugly scenes which marred UFC 229 in October.
McGregor was suspended for six months and fined $50,000 while Nurmagomedov was handed a nine-month suspension plus a fine of $500,000.
Russian Nurmagomedov began a brawl by the octagon after beating McGregor, before the Irishman was involved in a bust-up with his opponent’s team.
However, Nurmagomedov’s suspension could be reduced to six months if he participates in an anti-bullying campaign in Nevada.
Two of Nurmagomedov’s team Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Zubaira Tukhugov were also handed suspensions by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC). They both received a one year suspension and fined $25,000.
