It sounds like Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t the only one voicing his displeasure with the recent fines and suspensions levied by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). The Dagestani lightweight champion was hit with a half-million dollar punishment for his part in the 2018 brawl, following UFC 229’s main event — in which Nurmagomedov scaled the Octagon and leapt into the crowd to attack members of Conor McGregor’s fight camp.
‘The Eagle’ was also saddled with a nine-month suspension for his actions. One it sounds like he’s intent on sitting out, even though he could get it reduced to six by participating in an anti-bullying public service announcement for the commission.
