Policing MMA Trash Talk Is an Astoundingly Bad Idea
On Tuesday, the Nevada Athletic Commission met to determine punishments for three of the UFC's top stars: Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Jon Jones.
McGregor and Nurmagomedov were there to face the music for their participation in the pier-six brawl that unfurled following Nurmagomedov's easy-peasy shellacking of McGregor last October. Jones was there because of picograms and pulsing; if that sentence confuses you, trust me when I say you'd be no more informed after receiving an explanation.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor were each fined and suspended, while Jones received a conditional license to fight at UFC 235.
