Five big takeaways from NAC meeting, featuring Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov hearings

LAS VEGAS — The immediate futures of some of the UFC’s biggest names — and best fighters — were decided Tuesday at the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) meeting here inside the Grant Sawyer State Office Building.

Jon Jones, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov all got resolutions to their respective cases before the commissioners.

McGregor was suspended six months and fined $25,000 for his role in the UFC 229 post-fight brawl. Nurmagomedov was suspended nine months and fined $500,000 for helping ignite said brawl. The nine months could be reduced to six if Nurmagomedov films an NAC-approved anti-bullying public-service announcement.
