Conor McGregor would have likely taken six months between fights anyway, so the Nevada Athletic Commission only provided him some peace of mind during Tuesday’s disciplinary hearing over the Great Fracas after UFC 229. It’s now official that he can return as of April 6. The $50,000 fine was nothing either. McGregor, the whiskey baron, has loafers that cost more than that.
But what’s spectacular is that Khabib Nurmagomedov’s aerial display after the fight cost him ten times that amount — $500,000 — just for taking a flying leap at the peroxided bullseye of Dillon Danis’s head.
