  • The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) voted unanimously at the end of January to fine and suspend four professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters for their role in a post-fight melee at UFC 229 in October 2018.The four fighters are UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who received a nine-month suspension and $500,000 fine, and his rival Conor McGregor, who received a six-month suspension and $50,000 fine. The other two were Khabib’s younger cousin, Professional Fighters League (PFL) lightweight Abubakar Nurmagomedov, and teammate Zubaira Tukhugov, who were each suspended for 12 months and fined $25,000. On February 21, the NSAC penalized a fifth fighter who took part in the brawl -- Dillon Danis, a Bellator welterweight and McGregor’s training partner, who received a seven-month suspension and $7,500 fine. The brawl was sparked after Khabib Nurmagomedov, who defeated McGregor by fourth-round submission, jumped over the cage and attacked Danis, whom he accused of insulting my faith and my father."The head of Russia’s Chechen Republic (en)
