This is a follow up as to what had happened when this two met in the ring a couple of months ago. We all know that Khabib went after Conor's team after he won the fight.

Khabib Nurmagomedov receives nine-month suspension, $500K fine for role in UFC 229 brawl

On Tuesday’s meeting of the Nevada Athletic Commission, a five-member committee voted in favor of a settlement agreement that will see Nurmagomedov receive a nine-month suspension and a $500,000 fine for his involvement in the UFC 229 post-fight brawl. The suspension can be reduced by up to three months pending Nurmagomedov’s participation in an anti-bullying public service announcement that must be approved by the NAC.

Conor McGregor receives six-month suspension, fined $50,000 for role in UFC 229 brawl

Conor McGregor will be eligible for his return to the Octagon on April 6 having received a six-month suspension for his role on the UFC 229 post-fight fracas.

On Tuesday, five members of the National Athletic Commission voted in favor of a settlement agreement that will see McGregor fined $50,000 and receive a six-month suspension. McGregor’s suspension will be retroactive to Oct. 6, 2018, allowing him to compete again by Apr. 6.

Do you think it's fair that Khabib will be fined $500K + suspension? His $2 mil purse is still withheld up to now. Conor received $50K fined only. Or is this fair since Khabib is the one who started all this issue?

I will likely have the unpopular opinion but I think they should have been equal. Connor was a cock for the months leading to the fight. And I think it showed that he is just a marketing tool and not a fighter. Duh he is one of the best in the world, but is not a top contender. If they end up in  rematch I will not be watching it.

Connor is a good money fight because he brings in a lot of fake UFC fans. You can tell all the fake fans by the way they joined his side during the after cage fight. Most of the people commenting on it have never even been in a fight so they don't understand it.



If I was a fighter in the UFC and Conner was talking shit about my family and doing all that interview shit I would fight his team outside of the cage too. Its not good and they should both be suspended but I think giving Connor another slap on the wrist is bad for the game.



Also the suspension I think is good for both fighters. You hate to see people unable to speak after fighting for so long. Connor is getting there, so this break will be good for his health and hopefully he only fights once a year going forward. You hate to see bad things happen to fighters from taking so much damage like Nate Diaz.

$500K is too small considering the danger of that stunt that he did after the match. Imagine if it created a rumble inside venue and caused stampede, people will be injured and there will be damage to property. This will also set a precedent to those who always jumps out to octagon after winning the fight so that they will not do it again.

Conor received $50K fined only. Or is this fair since Khabib is the one who started all this issue?

If it is proven that Conor did not take part of this rumble then it is not fair for him to be fined with $50K since he just defended himself when Khabib and his team started the fight.

Maybe by the presses charge with the both of them, it's unequal. I don't know why it's like that, but probably they charged higher just because he rubbed it in his face. It might be a ruse for the public to make the fight known and be spread wider. Just like nydiacaskey01 said, he did endanger a lot more. It's just the cockiness talking and as usual money solving it. Money solves everything nowadays.

All about money, this incident and those fines should really be implemented as both fighters have it's own role regarding to that matters, we knew that the game should be over after khabib won but he started the coalition and things happen quicker than anyone expected it to happen.

Not a good example considering being a title holders.

[peter0425]

It's a bit fair in my opinion. he still got what? like $1.5 m, although the suspension might have a effect on him though. This is all business and we can't deny that Conor had crossed the line during their pre-fight hype but at the end of the day, you should act professionally. But Khabib wasn't able to forgive Conor and the rest of the team so a fine and a suspension is warranted.

It is not about warranting a suspension, Conor McGregor talked a lot of shit leading up to the fight about his religion about his country and he took things personal talking about Khabib's dad and if you find someone reacting to that inside or outside the cage after instigating this much, how can anyone be surprised by his behavior, the fine and suspension was not fair in my opinion as Conor got a much lesser fine if you compare to his pre fight tactics, even if they rematch ten times i do not see how Connor could beat Khabib inside the cage.

Well it was a big mistake to give in to his emotions though whichever way you look at it. Jumping our of the octago and out into the crowd with fists blazing isn't going to be a good image for the ufc if got a more lenient punishment considering he's the champion. He gave the ufc a clear reason to fine and suspend him so for me it's fair. Lessons learned the hard way. He took it too personally and he allowed his emotions to get the better of him.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Fines are absolutely correct, I also think the ban for Conor is excessive. Khabib attacked a member of the public ourside the ring, it doesn’t matter if he is Conor’s friend or relative. You can’t jump out of the ring & do that.

It is all about it, one thing is for sure that they deserve it because they have really done something. I think they are just being childish that way or maybe both parties can't handle it anymore and just want to outrage but what I don't get is that after the fight, Khabib still does it even though he should be celebrating.

Sound like an unfair decision to me. I believe that the punishment for both of them should be equal or McGregor should be fined and get a bigger suspension. The trash talk that he did before the game was the incentive for this outcome in the game. Khabib is good to be fined as well due to his unprofessional behavior but the punishment for Connor is so so small.

[kenzawak]

Here we go again with this drama.
My opinion ?
1 year suspension for everyone involved in both camps, purses withheld.

The UFC isn't the WWE. No need for this shit or the show Lesnar put on with Cormier.
Let's get back to the roots.

[tokeweed]

^  There's no more drama.  It's over. 

Anyway, Khabib said he'll be coming back in a year together with his friends who had longer sentences.  But I think he's gonna be convinced by Dana White to defend his vs Ferguson...  Fifth time's the charm.  Crossing my fingers. 

[Pmalek]

I don't think the decision is unfair. Conor talked a lot of shit before the fight, that is true. But once the fight ended it was all Khabib's actions that resulted in a big brawl. I don't think it is easy to take all those insults and not do anything about them but what he did is bad for the whole UFC organisation. Makes the UFC look like a bunch of savages on the loose. Imagine football players or basketball players jumping into the crowd, Cantona style every time they get insulted. What is enough is enough.   

[Oceat]

Both fighters are being too cocky that they forgot the word discipline which is taught to them since they were both newbies. It is clear that both of them are driven by their emotions and they forgot that there were people watching them.

Do you think it's fair that Khabib will be fined $500K + suspension? His $2 mil purse is still withheld up to now. Conor received $50K fined only. Or is this fair since Khabib is the one who started all this issue?

I think it's just fair since Connor lost already but Khabib was still too hot and started to jump off the ring to fight another one.

Are you forgetting about connor attacking the bus? Or when connor jumped in the ring of another fight? Connor isn't innocent here.

[bering]

Fair or not it has been determine that both of them are guilty but i think Conor become a victim of his own actions that when he was trash talk too much then Khabib became so emotional and consider this personal and attack his official team but they should be take a lesson from this and no more in the future because when the judge decide to stopped then they also have to stopped to fight because just like Conor said this only bussiness

very much unfair and we can see it from afar that the NAC has been so biased with their judgements and decisions, in that brawl or events, both parties were very much  involved and dont get us started of who started it first, its the conor team and khabib had just retaliate after the fight. UFC and NAC has been on the conor team side all the time, they got pissed because their champion was lose to a russian.

[rizkyhiw]

What I regret is the same sentence for Connor's team because they were victims of a brutal attack carried out by the Khabib team. They can also try to defend themselves at the event, whatever happens the decision to act fairly for both of them, takes a long time to train and get ready to fight when the ban period is over.

[eaLiTy]

Anyway, Khabib said he'll be coming back in a year together with his friends who had longer sentences.  But I think he's gonna be convinced by Dana White to defend his vs Ferguson...  Fifth time's the charm.  Crossing my fingers. 

Khabib will stand by his friends no matter what like he said earlier and it looks like he will stand by his words. I am waiting for Tony vs Khabib for years and hope we will finally see that fight come to fruition. This is the most unluckiest match up in MMA history as I never heard any other match up being pulled at the last moment like this one. The anticipation is that both are really good ground fighters and Tony is dangerous even in his back and that makes this fight interesting.
