Well, it appears one of McGregor&#8217;s teammates, Dillon Danis and one of Nurmagomedov&#8217;s, Zubaira Tukhugov will be facing discipline by the NSAC as well.<\/p>\n<p>They are expected to have hearings on November 14, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2018\/11\/8\/18074624\/dillon-danis-zubaira-tukhugov-others-involved-in-ufc-229-brawl-facing-discipline-nevada-commission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to MMAFighting<\/a>, where Abubakar Nurmagomedov is also expected to face discipline.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense that Danis and Tukhugov are having meetings with the NSAC. Both fighters played a big role in what happened in the UFC 229 brawl.<\/p>\n<p>In McGregor&#8217;s corner, Danis was apparently verbally\u00a0antagonizing Nurmagomedov during and immediately after the fight. Following that, Nurmagomedov jumped out of the Octagon to attack Danis.<\/p>\n<p>It was reported that Danis said racist things to Nurmagomedov in which he has since\u00a0denied. However, UFC commentator, Joe Rogan said he did indeed\u00a0hear\u00a0Danis make such remarks.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Danis was absolutely insulting Khabib, saying something to him and provoking him and then Khabib just jumped over the cage and attacked him,&#8221;<\/em> Rogan said.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Nurmagomedov&#8217;s teammate and friend in Tukhugov jumped into the Octagon and punched McGregor. The UFC wasn&#8217;t too fond of Tukhugov&#8217;s actions and took him off of the card at UFC Moncton where he was supposed to be facing Artem Lobov in the co-main event. As well, the UFC has said they will cut Tukhugov, but to this point, it is unknown if he is still\u00a0on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>It is unknown what kind of punishment the fighters will be facing. It could be a fine or a suspension from fighting. If that is indeed the case, it is a big blow to Bellator as Danis is one of their biggest prospects and hasn&#8217;t fought since April 28 where he won his MMA debut by first-round submission. Danis is eager to get back in the cage and this may end up throwing a wrench in the plans of that.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think the punishment should be for Danis and Tukhugov?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/8\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It appears the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is still punishing people for the melee that occurred at UFC 229.
