On Tuesday, the Nevada Athletic Commission met to determine the fates of Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair were being punished for the brawl that occurred after their UFC 229 fight, which also involved McGregor\u2019s teammate Dillon Danis, and Nurmagomedov\u2019s teammates Zubaira Tukhugov and Abubakar Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khabib Nurmagomedov was the first fighter to learn his fate at this Tuesday hearing. After some consideration, it was decided that he will receive a $500,000 fine and a nine-month suspension. That said, his suspension will be reduced to a six-month term provided he partakes in an anti-bullying public service announcement, which would first have to be approved by the NAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provided he completes the aforementioned anti-bullying PSA, Khabib Nurmagomedov will able to fight again in April (his suspension is retroactive to the date of his offense).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conor McGregor received his sentencing shortly thereafter, receiving a much lighter $50K fine and a six-month suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a rather unsurprising twist, Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn’t seem pleased with his punishment \u2014 particularly when it’s compared to McGregor’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
