Khabib, who was considered by the commission to be the cause of the friction, was fined US$500, around R$1,850 million at the current rate. Furthermore, he was paid 'only' nine months, but he can return to compete in six months if he takes 'anti-bullying action'.
In turn, McGrregor paid a much more modest fine: US$50, approximately R$180, plus a six-month suspension.
As the penalties are retroactive to the day of the event, October 6th, fighters may already be released to fight on April 6th.
