Conor McGregor issues statement on suspension, brags about landing ‘final blow’ during brawl

On Tuesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission handed out their sanctions to the fighters involved in the brawl at UFC 229. Conor McGregor was suspended six months and fined $50,000, while his opponent in Khabib Nurmagomedov received a whopping $500,000 fine and a nine month suspension (that could be lowered to six).

Khabib’s team obviously wasn’t happy with the massive fine, and his manager has issued a statement saying that the lightweight champion is ‘done’ fighting in Nevada.

McGregor on the other hand, issued a statement saying he is happy with how everything was handled.
